Lyrics
The 33rd Street bus sighs out its brakes in the haze.
Tuesday morning, one of those wet-brick Baltimore days.
There’s a woman on a stepladder, her back to the street,
Painting her porch ceiling to a silent beat.
It’s a specific blue you can’t mix from a chip.
[Chorus]
And that's how you paint the ghosts away.
A can of sky for a tired Tuesday.
A coat of armor no bad news can get through.
Yeah, that's what that Haint Blue can do.

erasing a map only she can see up there.
[Bridge]
And I'm just parked here, engine off, holding my breath.
Stunned by a recipe that outlives death.
[Outro]
The brush goes up.
The sky comes down.
