Paint By Numbers |
| When all the help in the world won’t get you by |
| When all the friends that you lean on let you down |
| You’ll wonder why |
| I see you there with your painting box |
| And your oils and brushes and your artist’s smocks |
| What’ll you do if the Muse gets lost |
| When I’m gone? |
| You painted me in the way you said you knew |
| I don’t believe that I saw myself |
| In anything you drew |
| I say you never quite caught it right |
| You say you see me in a different light |
| What’ll you do with your black and white |
| When I’m gone |
| You paint by numbers |
| I never noticed it before |
| You paint by numbers |
| It’s just a closing of an open door |
| When you’re looking round |
| You won’t see me no more |
| You paint by numbers |
| Staying here in this room just makes me pale |
| I never really could fit into your geometric scale |
| I see you measure my profile up |
| And you mix your paints in a broken cup |
| What’ll you do if the brush gets stuck |
| When I’m gone |
| You paint by numbers |
| I never noticed it before |
| You paint by numbers |
| It’s just a closing of an open door |
| When you’re looking round |
| You won’t see me no more |
| You paint by numbers |
