Letra de Over In A Barrel de Meg Hutchinson

Over stroganoff, we consider van gogh
Entirely immersed, but sad, sad to the bone
And i say, "here, take my ear, i'm gonna spend three years alone"
Then we laugh across the table,
'cause we know i never, never wanna go
Over in that barrel
No, don't want to go deaf and dumb and blind
You're all i want, you're all i want, you're all i want tonight
You're all i want, you're all i want tonight

Maybe later i'll, dream of geologic time
How small we are, making our circles and our rhymes
If van gogh went to the moon, you think she'd care or know his name
Does the universe hold its breath... on each lonely man's fame?
They went, over in that barrel
Yeah, they went deaf and dumb and blind
All this to sell one painting and then take his own life
I prefer our dinner, pour me more wine -

Ready to dive
Full tilt, into the rest of this brief life
If i knew where that was, i'd go there tonight
But i'm no, beethoven, you're no matisse, no van gogh no, no
No brilliant, deaf and dumb and blind
So let's have our second helping and curl up in each other's light
We don't have to decide, anything tonight
We don't have to decide, anything tonight
(we don't have to)
