[00:14.80]There are many styles of living
[00:18.61]For the many ways to be
[00:22.42]'Cause life is an expression
[00:26.13]And we're living to be free
[00:30.09]But for the painted lady
[00:33.69]There is a pointed stare
[00:37.48]And eyes that ask a question
[00:40.95]"Is she going anywhere?"
[00:45.65]🎵
[00:51.70]I travel 'cause I have somewhere to go
[00:59.13]A song to sing, a thing to do, to show
[01:06.24]And conversation's easy to engage
[01:13.66]'Cause I'm a painted lady on the stage
[01:21.89]Spectacle, the people come to see
[01:28.88]And center stage is where you look for me
[01:36.10]Sometimes my picture's featured on a page
[01:44.19]'Cause I'm a painted lady on the stage
[01:51.66]A common garden flower child
[01:55.34]With hopes and dreams to share
[01:59.19]And visions of another world
[02:03.29]I can take you there
[02:07.13]I live a public life, a life I choose
[02:13.80]A song of love, sometimes I sing the blues
[02:21.86]And sometimes I can hear the rivers rage
[02:29.49]'Cause I'm a painted lady on the stage
[02:35.93]🎵
[02:41.57]A common garden flower child
[03:40.69]With hopes and dreams to share
[03:44.44]And visions of another world
[03:48.50]I am gonna take you there
[03:52.41]I go the way of the artist of disguise
[03:59.59]Reflected in the gaze of strangers' eyes
[04:06.71]And there are many battles that I wage
[04:14.62]'Cause I'm a painted lady on the stage
[04:22.20]I travel here and there to foreign lands
[04:30.04]I've seen some setting sun, some shifting fans
[04:37.65]Sometimes I play the fool, sometimes the sage
[04:45.40]'Cause I'm a painted lady, I'm a painted lady
[04:53.52]I'm a painted lady on the stage
