But I could have told you Vincent
This world was never meant for one
As butt-ugly as you
But I could have told you Vincent
This world was never meant for one
As beautiful as you
But I could have told you skinflint
But I could have told you Vincent
How you suffered for your cemetery
How you suffered for your sanity
Morning feels November gray
Morning fields of amber grain
Padres hung in empty halls.
Portraits hung in empty halls.
Paint your palace blue and grey.
Paint your palette blue and grey.
Paint your parlour blue and grey.
Paint your palette blue and grey.
Paint your parrot blue and grey.
Paint your palette blue and grey.
Punctures hung in empty halls
Portraits hung in empty halls
Put your Tums in empty holes
Portraits hung in empty halls
Put your tongue in empty holes.
Portraits hung in empty halls.
Sculptured trees and daffodils
Sketch the trees and the daffodils
Starry, starry night
Paint your gonads blue and grey
Starry, starry night
Paint your palette blue and grey
Starry, starry night
Paint your pal blue and gay.
Starry, starry night
Paint your pallete blue and grey.
