Listen up and I'll tell a story |
| [00:37.02] |
About an artist growing old |
| [00:42.75] |
Some would try for fame and glory |
| [00:48.54] |
Others aren't so bold |
| [00:52.75] |
|
| [00:53.86] |
And everyone in friends and family |
| [00:59.50] |
Sayin' "hey go get a job |
| [01:04.95] |
Why do you only do that only |
| [01:10.84] |
Why are you so odd? |
| [01:16.13] |
"And we don't really like what you do |
| [01:21.82] |
We don't think anyone ever will |
| [01:28.05] |
We think you have a problem |
| [01:32.87] |
And this problem's made you ill" |
| [01:37.12] |
|
| [02:00.00] |
The artist walks among the flowers |
| [02:05.59] |
Appreciating the sun |
| [02:10.91] |
He's out there all his waking hours |
| [02:16.05] |
Oh and who's to say he's wrong |
| [02:21.88] |
But the artist walks alone |
| [02:26.41] |
|
| [02:27.47] |
And someone says behind his back |
| [02:32.56] |
"He's got some gall to call himself that |
| [02:37.94] |
He doesn't even know where he's at" |
| [02:43.41] |
And they sit in front of their tv |
| [02:48.77] |
Sayin' "hey isn't this a lot of fun" |
| [02:53.73] |
|
| [02:54.74] |
And they laugh at the artist |
| [02:59.17] |
Saying "he don't know how to have fun" |
| [03:03.82] |
|
| [03:06.56] |
Listen up and I'll tell a story |
| [03:14.45] |
About an artist growin' old |
| [03:19.45] |
Some would try for fame and glory |
| [03:24.21] |
Others like to watch the world |
| [03:29.29] |
|
| [03:35.73] |
Da da da da da da da da da da ... |
