Stan Ridgway - Picasso's tear lyrics

rate me

Like a monster back from hell

I sit and watch the river flow

And if I lose you on a turn

Or stopping at the yellow glow

I'll meet you back right here

Same time tomorrow night

Inside Picasso's tear

In this apocalyptic night

Now if the purple sky

Will turn another shade of green

And if the world will burn

In this apocalyptic sheen

I still remember you and me

We were partners pulling time

Mixing blue and green

And hangin' up our sign

And through a highball glass

Yeah, I could see inside your fear

Oh, you never knew it then

But the feeling was so clear

And if the target never moves

Yeah, but then it always does

Oh, the kids can fuck themselves

Yeah they'll find out soon enough
