The House of Invention

Here is a song about a painter you might know
He is the Copper Thunderbird Norval Morrisseau
He’s floating by high in the sky in a canoe
I hope you feel the colors’ healing spell on you

A man of conviction
On a journey, on a mission
To find his X-ray vision
In the house of invention

And in the gallery heads are turning back and forth
Somebody called him “the Picasso of the north”
And when I wander cloudy on a gloomy day
He’ll cheer me up like Debussy or Dubuffet

A man of conviction
On a journey, on a mission
To find his X-ray vision
In the house of invention

This is a song about a painter you might know
He is the Copper Thundеrbird Norval Morrisseau!
