Well I hear you are a painter now
Though you're almost halfway through
You pulled a pallet knife, you cut away a wife
And you started something new
But it was not the strife of married life
That ordained what you would do
A quick look back through your history
Shows the same things goading you
It's just like you to try painting
Because you're color blind
Each time you conquer something
That's the time you change you're mind
And now your new preoccupations
Give you your handicap to start
Yes you're happiest when you're chasing clouds
With a halfway broken heart
Paint a picture of yourself
Let the images flash past
Don't weep on watercolors
Michael make this moment last
Paint the kid with restless eyes
Yeah the way you looked back then
'Cause the man keeps getting frightened
When that boy's not born again
Though you're almost halfway through
You pulled a pallet knife, you cut away a wife
And you started something new
But it was not the strife of married life
That ordained what you would do
A quick look back through your history
Shows the same things goading you
It's just like you to try painting
Because you're color blind
Each time you conquer something
That's the time you change you're mind
And now your new preoccupations
Give you your handicap to start
Yes you're happiest when you're chasing clouds
With a halfway broken heart
Paint a picture of yourself
Let the images flash past
Don't weep on watercolors
Michael make this moment last
Paint the kid with restless eyes
Yeah the way you looked back then
'Cause the man keeps getting frightened
When that boy's not born again
