When You Go Out With Artists

<br>When I go out with artists<br><br>They talk about language and the cubists and the dadaists<br><br>And I try to catch their meanings<br><br>And keep up with all the martinis<br><br>I don`t know which should be my favorite paintings<br><br><br><br>If I could see, if I could see, if I could<br><br>See all the symbols, unlock what they mean<br><br>Maybe I could, maybe I could, maybe I<br><br>Could meet the artists, and get to know them personally<br><br><br><br>If I were David Byrne<br><br>I`d go to galleries and not be too concerned<br><br>Well I would have a cup of coffee<br><br>And I`d find my surroundings quite amusing and<br><br>People would ask me which were my favorite paintings<br><br><br><br>What if the artists ran the TV?<br><br>All the ads would be for fine scotch whiskey:<br><br>Glenfiddich, Glenlivet, the whole single malt family<br><br><br><br>The artists of the future<br><br>Will make up new things and different nomenclatures<br><br>And they`ll stand amongst their pictures<br><br>And they`ll sing and laugh and quote from scriptures and<br><br>When they go home they`ll dream of brilliant paintings
