Sunrise, landscape, I portrait it to ya
Abstract cubist and specialist view
A delicate line, a bolt shone a blind
Once the brush hits the canvas, there's no turnin' back
I didn't know when the paint would dry
Kept goin' back for another try
I start at the bottom, I dig at the top
I didn't know when to stop
I didn't know when to
I think I captured you in spite as I was
But you couldn't see it but only because
My first attempt stank with doubt
I grab my coat and find the door and make my way out
I didn't know when the paint would dry
Kept goin' back for another try
I start at the bottom, I dig at the top
I didn't know when to stop
I didn't know when to
Well you see a fraud and no one else knows
A catwalk phenomenon, the emperor's clothes
Our faithful lightnings but something ain't right
I painted over you and kept me in blue lights
I didn't know when the paint would dry
Kept goin' back for another try
I start at the bottom, I dig at the top
I didn't know when to stop
I start at the bottom, I dig at the top
I didn't know when to stop
I didn't know when to
