We knocked another couple back
For someone half as smart
They didn't know they'd been disabled
Separated from the rest
For someone half as smart
And I can't help until you start
No matter what you keep repeating
Nothing's gonna drag me down
You'd be a work of art
The radio was playing 'Crimson and Clover'
For someone half as smart
You put yourself apart
You put yourself apart
You'd be a work of art
Counts the waves that somehow didn't hit her
To a death that's not worth cheating
Felt a wave, a rush of blood
You won't be happy 'til the bottle's broken
Water pouring from her eyes
Sees the ocean fall and rise
You kept back, you kept unspoken
Fights problems with bigger problems
The dead soldiers lined up on the table
For someone half as smart
You got a look in your eye
London bridge is safe and sound
Revolver's been turned over
You'd be a work of art
You put yourself apart
And I can't help until you start
You're out swimming in the flood
And now it's ready once again
Alcoholic and very bitter
Like you wanna say, hi
The light was on but it was dim
You'd be a work of art
When you're saying, goodbye
Still prepared for an attack
And I can't help you until you start
