Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Let's go!

[Verse 2]

I'm painting, I'm painting again

I'm painting, I'm painting again

I'm cleaning, I'm cleaning again

I'm cleaning, cleaning my brain

[Verse 3]

Pretty soon now, I will be bitter

Pretty soon now, will be a quitter

Pretty soon now, I will be bitter

You can't see it till it's finished

[Verse 4]

I don't have to prove that I am creative

I don't have to prove that I am creative

All my pictures are confused

And now I'm going to take me to you
