Impression, Sunrise

[Intro]
Hey, Daniel?
What’s up?
Did I ever tell you that art is a lie?
I think you’ve told me that a couple times before
Well, I really do think it is
Me too
Art school is really, really, pretty dumb
Yeah, it’s really, really, really dumb

[Verse 1]
Do not think to look at me
Quite so voyeuristically
“Olympia” in ‘63
Degas at the ballet
What is your impression of me?
Training at the art school
Just like all the other students

[Verse 2]
What are your color theories?
Paint me while I’m feelin’ weary
Seconds are quickly fleeing
Stop acting so cavalierly
How does the light look when I’m angry?

[Verse 3]
Monet puts the red sun on me
Dance in countries and in cities
“Luncheon of the Boating Party”
“Impression, Sunrise”
I thought I saw you crying
Degrees you’ll be applying
I thought I heard you lying

[Verse 4]
It’s really a self portrait
Even though it is distorted
I know it’s not important
Even though it’s pretty morbid
Strange angles
“Show me an angel and I’ll paint one”
