lyrics

As a painter of modern life, I don't see that much. The dead conversing with one another. The dead making obscene gestures. The dead stressing out their mothers. The dead laying face-up in the gutter. They don't call on you.

I don't expect a return on the dollar. The market is a little unpredictable. Perhaps I'll make some income as a scrivener.

As a painter of modern life, I'm a public man. In the red of the face of the stockbroker, the blue in the heart of the labourer, in contemplation of skyscrapers, or parasols of consumers...I don't look for truth.

I'm a walking advertisement for nothing. I might be that I'm lazy in the wrong way. But a poltergeist has taken my ambition away.
