Picasso's Tear Lyrics - Stan Ridgway

Like a monster back from hell 

I sit and watch the river flow 

And if I lose you on a turn 

Or stopping at the yellow glow 

I'll meet you back right here 

Same time tomorrow night 

Inside Picasso's tear 

In this apocalyptic night 

Now if the purple sky 

Will turn another shade of green 

And if the world will burn 

In this apocalyptic sheen 

I still remember me and you 

Yeah, we were partners pulling time 

Mixing blue and green 

And hangin' up our sign 

And through a highball glass 

Yeah, I could see inside your fear 

Oh, you never knew it then 

But the feeling was so clear 

And if the target never moves 

Yeah, but then it always does 

Oh, the kids can fuck themselves 

Yeah, they'll find out soon enough
