Dear Artist

[Verse 1]
Poor and penniless
He tries to see himself in his eyes
Trying to work himself out
Trying to see himself through
He met someone who might help him
But only hindered instead
By giving him some colored sweets
To paint through a hole in the sky

[Chorus]
Dear, dear artist
Da Vinci of the pavement
Paint me a picture, who can tell
Paint me a picture, call it hell
Dear dear dear dear artist

[Verse 2]
In your hour of need
An angel will appear
To show a road of canvas
To pastel shades of light

[Chorus]
Dear, dear artist
Da Vinci of the pavement
Paint me a picture, who can tell
Paint me a picture, call it hell
Dear dear dear dear artist

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Dear, dear artist
Da Vinci of the pavement
Paint me a picture, who can tell
Paint me a picture, call it hell
Dear dear dear dear artist
