lyrics

For Art

what we do to be together
to fill our bellies in all weather
what we are is luxury-
too costly for our dreams

can't stop thinking about you
days open and bubble inside you
living the moment for us
just a couple of fleeting thoughts

I do nothing seductive
nothing productive,
nothing for the good of me
living with one purpose
that makes me so happy

for arthur a living sculpture
for arthur this vague body
for arthur and his ignorant mother
a tiny apartment and dog barking

cigarettes and scrambled eggs
then the door's shut 'til ten
tools drop, noises end
arthur's body falls into bed

a pair of eyes semi-lit
a back broken into hundreds of pieces
leaving me with his heart and hands
I know what to do with them

Verse: E/C#min/Emin/F#min
