Message "Painted Lady"
(lyrics self-transcribed)
* From album: "Smile/ Painted Lady" (EP)
See the street so dark and so dim
And with each night a fear unknown
Then at once there comes a light
From a place just made for such nights
This light is alive and in human form
It's the Painted Lady and this street is her home
Face is made of dew so forlorn
And lips are like none with no one saw love below
Her life is with men and these men are alive
But none love her like the love she should have
Love, it should come, she will keep it for one
Be faithful and true like few others can do

Message "Smile"
(lyrics self-transcribed)
* From album: "Smile/ Painted Lady" (EP)
When the time is so black and I'm feelin' so bad
And I have no steady bed to lie on
I'll think of all the bread that I blew
I'll think of all the chicks and the places I knew
And I'll smile, I'm gonna smile, I'll smile
Then you know you've got love
And then everything's goin'
And you know you'll get through
If you can only keep smilin'
Well, I've been in many bad spots in my time
When the police say "Son, you gotta tow the life"
After a while of just sittin' and thinkin'
Can get that feelin' without even blinkin'
And smile, smile and smile
When I got me more bread in the yard of my own
And me and my friends are just smokin' a bone
I can say without even thinkin'
That I really, I really suss the scene
And I'll smile, I'm gonna smile, [I'll smile] 4x
