Altitude Painter
Eric DeLuca
Verse 1
Up in the Waldorf
down in the shul
Watching the witches
believing it’s cool
your mind is a pillow
so lay yourself down
climb down the ladder,
the big city ladder
Verse 2
Keeping your back against the elevator door
just in case they wanna give you a tour
I just wanna be there when you need
an altitude painter,
a camera truck road
Chorus 1
Are you looking for me?
I made a note in a dream
too much truth can kill
common sense
misty silence
Verse 3
I see a bird on a branch
didn’t stand much chance
Chorus 2
I see a bird on a branch
didn’t stand much chance
diamonds in her tiara
crown with a thousand jewels
Sad beyond
sad beyond
sad beyond
Verse 4
She remembers me
I made a note in a dream
50 ft. waves
picture in a frame
Chorus 3
She remembers me
I made a note in a dream
Show up on Monday
when the mine gave out
Chorus 4
She remembers me
I made a note in a dream
Show up on Monday
when the mine gave out
Coda
She remembers me
I made a note in a dream
