abbey lincoln - painted lady on the stage lyrics

Loading...

[intro]
there are many styles of livin’ for the many ways to be
’cause life is an expression and we’re livin’ to be free
but for the painted lady there is a pointed stare
and eyes that ask a question: “is she old anywhere?”

[verse 1]
i travel ’cause i have somewhere to go
a song to sing, a thing to do, to show
and conversation’s easy to engage
’cause i’m a painted lady on the stage

[verse 2]
a spectacle the pеople come to see
and centеr stage is where you look for me
sometimes my picture’s featured on a page
’cause i’m a painted lady on the stage

[bridge]
a common garden flower child
with hopes and dreams to share
and visions of another world
i can take you there

[verse 3]
i live a public life, a life i choose
a song of love, sometimes i sing the blues
and sometimes i can hear the rivers rage
’cause i’m a painted lady on the stage
[tenor saxophone solo]

[bridge]
a common garden flower child
with hopes and dreams to share
and visions of another world
i am gonna take you there

[verse 4]
i go the way the optics of disguise
reflected in the gains of stranger’s eyes
and there are many battles that i’ve waged
’cause i’m a painted lady on the stage

[verse 5]
i travel here and there to foreign lands
i’ve seen some setting suns, some shifting sands
sometimes i play the fool, sometimes the sage
’cause i’m a painted lady, i’m a painted lady
i’m a painted lady on the stage
