Lyrics
Art-hounds
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Art-hounds, look like nothing
So art-hounds, write something
And those that do are judged by those who tried
And find they can’t do
Art-hounds, see the greek ideal
And gaze on what they never feel
All the pitiless revenge of those without friends
The pitiless, the pitiless revenge
Art-hounds, knows whats around
Because they’ve seen it somewhere written down
And everything they’ve seen on the moving screen
Helps them fill up the page
In european museums
Will I see you?
Will I see you?
Will I see you?
Will I see you?
In european museums
Will I see you?
My life is opera
My life is opera
My life is opera
My life is opera
Art-hounds, in a restaurant
They bring along their loving aunt
But when they can’t find a table
For their fat aunt Mabel
They stamp their feet and cry
Art-hounds, in a restaurant
They bring along their loving aunt
But when they can’t find a table
For their fat aunt Mabel
They stamp their feet and cry
In European hushed museums
Will I see you?
Will I see you?
Will I see you?
Will I see you?
In european hushed museums
Will I see you?
My life is opera
My life is opera
My life is opera
My life is
Art-hounds, very funny
Very witty, but very lonely
And below the belt is shrivelled and small
It functions only as a word
Art-hounds, very funny
Very witty, but very lonely
And below the belt is shrivelled and small
It knows a thousand woes
In european hushed museums
Will I see you?
Will I see you?
Will I see you?
Will I see you?
In european hushed museums
Will I see you?
If you cannot stand this fake world
If you cannot stand this fake world
Take my hand
If you cannot stand this fake world
If you cannot stand this fake world
If you cannot stand this fake world
Take my hand
If you cannot stand this fake world
I take sixteen pills to send me to sleep
And sixteen pills to shake me awake
