Art On The Run Lyrics by Marty Willson-piper

Art On The Run Lyrics

    The cane on the table is getting lighter, it's almost disappeared
    I always thought that furniture was weird
    Rooms full of battered wood, i'd live in empty rooms if i could
    The shape of my face is well-defined, improving with age
    All i need now is something to engage
    Grinning at images, i'll only talk to you if you appeal


    Braving the elements
    Childlike and delicate
    Art is on the run, art is on the run


    The blood on the ticket is the same as the blood on the fingers at my throat
    I'll prove it was you by the paintings on your coat
    Seams split in violent times, art is on the run and drunk again on wine
    I'm safe and sound, i'm full of money, a silver sixpence shines
    Somewhere else a beach is sad and cries
    Sand swept to damaged hills, another empty canvas i've to fill


    Close to you and far away
