lyrics

It was one too many smiley
It was just too many lines -
A Cheshire cat grin brushed on Mona Lisa’s smile
And you wrapped up the canvas
And you gave it with a kiss.
It looks so close,
When I squint

I could hire an art restorer,
With a mask and latex gloves
With some brushes and solution
To reveal what's covered up
They would peel back the layers
And clean away the grime.
Or five steps back...
And it looks fine...

If relationships are galleries,
I suspect a few emotional forgeries
Michaelangelo, DaVinci, Munch, Magritte,
And me.

So… DaVinci was a genius.
Well, he isn’t quite my style.
All those drab browns highlighting that elusive smile
Your enhancements are moving towards
What I prefer to see
A better version of
Reality

If relationships are galleries,
I suspect a few emotional forgeries.
Michaelangelo, DaVinci, Munch, Magritte
And me.

If relationships were galleries,
I detect a few inconsistencies.
Michaelangelo, DaVinci, Munch, Magritte
And me.
