I got a desolation angel, head bangin' life lover She got no money, rich with soul undercover Gypsy mama, footloose and fancy free Cold red win front seat of a Chevy with me Since then I've seen her ridin' on the wind with my friend I'm on a paintrain, she put the tracks on my brain Painful locomotive I'm on the paintrain, I got my sane on a chain Can't you see it comin', comin' Harlequin romantic, princess lady She's had her heart kicked in just too many times Cupid's too busy, lady's never Lizzy, baby's never dizzy
When she was lovin' me she never seemed to get out of line Since then I've caught her hidin' commitin' the sin I'm on a paintrain, she put the tracks on my brain Painful locomotive I'm on the paintrain, I got my sane on a chain Can't you see it comin', comin' I can tell by your walkin', people start talkin' Sayin' that your love is free But I don't listen, just keep reminiscing Call me when you're lonely Paintrain Paintrain Paintrain Paintrain
