picasso's tear - Stan Ridgway

picasso's tear Lyrics

Like a monster back from hell
I sit and watch the river flow
And if I lose you on a turn
Or stopping at the yellow glowI'll meet you back right here
Same time tomorrow night
Inside Picasso's tear
In this apocalyptic nightNow if the purple sky
Will turn another shade of green
And if the world will burn
In this apocalyptic sheenI still remember me and you
Yeah, we were partners pulling time
Mixing blue and green
And hangin' up our signAnd through a highball glass
Yeah, I could see inside your fear
Oh, you never knew it then
But the feeling was so clearAnd if the target never moves
Yeah, but then it always does
Oh, the kids can fuck themselves

Yeah, they'll find out soon enough
