Art Fails

(album: All Four One - 1982)

Life tears,
Money screams,
Love aches,
Art fails
But I don't want you to see me this way.

They lied
I cried
You found
what I could be not
I don't want you to see me this way.

See what you need,
See what you found,
See what you've done.
I cried out loud.

Tenders touch
Pain grab
Face flush
Try to stand
No I don't want you to see me this way.

All alone
Some forgot
You could maybe
I could not
No I don't want you to see me this way.

Hold me for a moment
Hold me if you can
Hold me just a second
In the face of all I am
Damned

Life tears,
Money screams,
Love aches,
Art fails
But I don't want you to see me this way.

Hollock heals
Art fails
But I don't want you to see me this way.
I don't want you to see me this way.

I don't want you to see me this way.
This way, this way, this way
