Lyrics
The Art is Killing Me
I don't know, I sink low
You don't understand
I have legs to run the race
I have arms to lift the day
I have eyes to see the light
And the skin to feel my way
Don't know why, I always try
To keep my pain inside
Paint it once, Destroy it twice
You say, "Gee, it's so nice!"
Gimme legs to run the straits
Gimme arms to push away
Gimme eyes to close you out
And the will to learn to doubt
Can't you see that The Art is Killing Me?
I need no reason
I do what I must do
I'll be a genius when
You're sure I'm dead and gone
I have legs to run the race
I have arms to lift the day
I have eyes to see the light
And the skin to feel my way
Don't know why, I always try
To keep my pain inside
Gimme legs to run the straits
Gimme arms to push away
Gimme eyes to close you out
And the will to learn to doubt
Can't you see that The Art is Killing Me?
Can't you see that The Art is Killing Me??
Don't you know that The Art is Killing Me???
