[Intro]
Let's go
[Verse 1]
I'm painting, I'm painting again
I'm painting, I'm painting again
I'm cleaning, I'm cleaning again
I'm cleaning, cleaning my brain
[Verse 2]
Pretty soon now, I will be bitter
Pretty soon now, will be a quitter
Pretty soon now, I will be bitter
You can't see it 'til it's finished
[Verse 3]
I don't have to prove that I am creative
I don't have to prove that I am creative
All my pictures are confused
And now I'm going to take me to you
Let's go
[Verse 1]
I'm painting, I'm painting again
I'm painting, I'm painting again
I'm cleaning, I'm cleaning again
I'm cleaning, cleaning my brain
[Verse 2]
Pretty soon now, I will be bitter
Pretty soon now, will be a quitter
Pretty soon now, I will be bitter
You can't see it 'til it's finished
[Verse 3]
I don't have to prove that I am creative
I don't have to prove that I am creative
All my pictures are confused
And now I'm going to take me to you
