Paintin’ Signs

Spent a lot of time in my house
Pretendin' I wasn't home
Bills and junk mail pilin' up by the door
Sittin' at the window in a dream
Lyin' to myself, that's for sure
See, what I was really doin' - paintin' signs

Soul on strike
Sorry closed
Gone fishin'
Back next week
Under repair
Out of order
Help wanted
Dead end street

Losin' weight an' losin' my mind
One day at a time, oh lord
In the mirror face growin' thinner
Foolin' myself but no one else
Peepin' through life's blinds, skippin' dinner
What I was really doin' - paintin' signs

Sittin' at the window in a dream
Tellin' myself I was fine - lyin'
What I was really doin' - paintin' signs
