lyrics

I want to start a new painting
What it’s about I don’t care
First I gotta get a canvas up my spiral stairs

I’ve wanted to tune my old piano
God, it’s been too long
Then maybe I can finish
Some of my old songs
(Yes, maybe he could finish some of his old songs)
Maybe I can finish some of my old songs
(Yes, maybe he can finish some of his old songs)

And I’m so easily distracted and then
The time goes by never to be here again
Yeah, yeah, yeah

And I see the bare and leafless trees
I better go inside before I freeze

I need to find some old magazines for my new collage
Well I think I may have some here in my garage
(He thinks he may have some there in his garage)
Yeah, I think I may have some here in my garage
(Yeah he thinks he may have some there in his garage)

I want to start a new painting
What it’s about I don’t care

Notes on song:
I was banging out a few chords on the piano and thought I’d give a try to trying to describe my process when I begin a painting.
