about

It is said that there is no art, only artists. Here, life presents its counter-argument.

lyrics

Dust in the wineglass
Build a little galaxy
Brew a small infinity inside your Cabernet

Rice in the stained glass
Colour of a field in flood
Shatter in mosaic blood to pave the farmer's way

CHORUS
Chaos weave your magic fine
Paint by chance and not design
Work your art when falling stars align

Blue jay in a sky form
Ride on as the Pharaoh's daughter
Clouds beneath your wheels and water drinking in the light

Pollen in a rainstorm
Swish and billow, swirl and eddy
Brush and palette at the ready, paint a drunken starry night

CHORUS

Ghost of a sipped espresso
Grounds in earth's ceramic showing
Gather in a river flowing to a forest lake

Early evening shadow
Rule a perfect line of shading
Hip to shoulder bifurcating walls of stone opaque

CHORUS

BRIDGE
And peering from the hinges
Scuffed and smudged with peeling paint
Of the cupboard in your kitchen
Is the vision of a saint

CHORUS x 2
