Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When I go out with artists
They talk about language and the cubists and that dadaist
And I try to catch their meanings
And keep up with all of the martinis
[Verse 2]
I don't know which
Should be my favorite paintings
[Verse 3]
If I could see, if I could see
If I could see all the symbols, unlock what they mean
Maybe I could, maybe I could
Maybe I could meet the artists, and get to know them personally
[Verse 4]
If I were David Byrne
I'd go to galleries and no be too concerned
And I would have a cup of coffee
And I'd find my surroundings quite amusing
[Verse 5]
And people would ask me
Which were my favorite paintings?
[Verse 6]
If I could see, if I could see
If I could see all the symbols, unlock what they mean
Maybe I could, maybe I could
Maybe I could meet the artists, and get to know them personally
[Verse 7]
What if the artists ran the TV?
All the ads would be for fine scotch whiskey
Glenfiddich, Glenlivet
The whole single malt family
[Verse 8]
The artists of the future
Will make up new things and different nomenclatures
And they'll stand amongst their pictures
And they'll sing and laugh and quote from scriptures
[Verse 9]
And when they go home
They'll dream of brilliant paintings
[Verse 10]
If I could see, if I could see
If I could see all the symbols, unlock what they mean
Maybe I could, maybe I could
Maybe I could meet the artists, and get to know them personally
[Verse 11]
If I could see, if I could see
If I could see all the symbols, unlock what they mean
Maybe I could, maybe I could
Maybe I could meet the artists, and get to know them personally
