Painted Face

Painted face, painted face,

"A lady must always have a painted face."

Don't ever let them see your tainted grace,

and never, for heaven's sake, give them your name to praise,

Painted Face.

Once I hear a man thinking out loud about a sexual fantasy he had where there was a woman, a painter, and she was using her body as the canvas, all of its parts, every surface. Why he spoke about it in public, I don't know. That generally is not acceptable.

Painted face, painted face,

not crazy but obsessed beyond all reason;

to do anything else would be high treason,

and never, for heaven's sake, appear to graze,

Painted Face.
