Don't Stop Receiving

Lyrics
Just a single drop of paint On a factory line A flash of candy apple red Nineteen sixty-nine It landed on a metal skid Just a forgotten fleck A tiny promise of the color We hadn't seen yet Then a coat of racing green A deep midnight blue Moving through the curing ovens Something old made new Day by day, the layers grow A silent history Building up a rainbow from The Ford Motor Company The heat is rising up now The pressure's holding on A thousand painted moments Are singing one long song Colors waiting Piling up in secret streams Overspray in firelight Building up these painted dreams Don't stop receiving Hold on to that layered feeling Joylight people Living just to feel the glow! Some will win, some will lose Some were born to sing the blues But the paint just kept on falling A river with no end It doesn't matter who you are The colors always land The heat is rising up now The pressure's holding on A thousand captured moments Are singing one long song Colors waiting Piling up in secret streams Overspray in firelight Building up these painted dreams Don't stop receiving Hold on to that layered feeling Joylight people Living just to feel the glow! From a dusty factory corner Saved from the machine Polished into patterns A psychedelic scene Colors waiting! Piling up in secret streams! Overspray in firelight! Building up these painted dreams! Don't stop receiving! Hold on to that layered feeling! Joylight people! Living just to feel the glow! Don't stop receiving Hold on Joylight people Hold on to that feeling Layers shining Don't stop receiving...
