lyrics

There's this woman that lives with me
she leaves her lights on night and day
when I peak in, she's deep in thought
and far away

building worlds inside her mind
she is stoned most of the time
but God damn,
that gal can paint

building narratives I couldn't think up if I tried
Making references to artists she admires

She believes that art is something sacred to hold dear
that woman, painting the world on fire, over there

Her food is no good she don't do math
but she works hard and she hones her craft
making everyone around her
look like hacks

she's got an astounding intuition
for conflict and composition
if she aint in every major modern art museum by
the time she dies, the world has gone mad

She paints through the day
she paints through the night
that woman has eternity
in her sights

She believes that art is something sacred to hold dear
that woman, painting the world on fire, over there

She believes that art is something sacred to hold dear
that woman is making history while I'm drinking beer
