Quiz Show Clue

I took up painting in the hope of getting rich

There's been a hitch

I found no value in the sum of all my art

But I won't lose heart

I thought by reading I would then improve my lot

But no, what rot

I don't exist and nor do you

We're just a footnote, now a quiz-show clue

Write down your postcode and we'll see if you could fit

No, that's not it

I kept on pleading with my eyes but not my mouth

My plans went south

I got boxed in and I was blocked from the home straight

I took the bait

I don't exist and nor do you

We're just a footnote, now a quiz-show clue

Come with me

On a flight of fantasy

Where we can be

Who we want to be

Come with me

On a flight of fantasy

Where we can be

Who we want to be

I don't exist and nor do you

We're just a footnote, now a quiz-show clue

I get consumed by ideas in full bloom

And so do you

And I got carried

I got carried away

I got carried away

Carried away

Carried away

I got carried

I got carried away

I got carried away

Carried away

Carried away
