I just wanted to tell you I love you I just wanted to tell you again I saw you today on your mountain I just want you to know that I'm there Got a whole other world standing next to me Little angels directing my hands They won't let me choose from the colors I use They want violence and black like Cezanne The raging side is hard to hide I blame it all, this time When I painted Guernica These are dangerous times for thinkin' I'm a stranger in a strange land If you think for yourself, you're a traitor It's like walking on quicksand So I work in the shadows of uncertainty Waiting for that knock at the door When I got a line that says, "Is this your idea?" I say, "No, I thought it was yours" Just a drum off track, I went all the way back The man on top reminded ya When I painted Guernica When I painted Guernica When I painted Guernica Alright Fly away, fly away from the start of end times That's green and white in the meadows Fly away, fly away from your worst nightmare As you disappear in the shadows Fly away, fly away from your broken bones Fly away, fly away from evil These big black screens are snatchin' dreams Fly away, fly away to freedom This picture is a chamber of horrors This picture's a crucifixion It'll hang on the walls of eternity halls It will never be forgotten When my hands veil the truth behind images This picture is trying to explain If this anger smashes into your consciousness Then this picture will not be in vain And the camera smells arrested shells, I created a monster When I painted Guernica When I painted Guernica When I painted Guernica Alright
