Art Teacher

There I was in uniform Looking at the art teacher I was just a girl then; Never have I loved since then He was not that much older than I was He had taken our class to the Metropolitan Museum He asked us what our favorite work of art was, But never could I tell it was him Oh, I wish I could tell him -Oh, I wish I could have told him I looked at the Rubens and Rembrandts I liked the John Singer Sargents He told me he liked Turner Never have I turned since then No, never have I turned to any other man All this having been said, I married an executive company head All this having been done, a Turner -I own one Here I am in this uniformish, pant-suit sort of thing, Thinking of the art teacher I was just a girl then; Never have I loved since then No, never have I loved any other man

Slideshow
Do I love you because you treat me so indifferently? Or is it the medication? Or is it me? Do I love you because you don't want me to rub your back? Or is it the medication? Or is it you? Or is it true? And I better be prominently featured in your next slideshow Because I paid a lot of money to get you over here, you know? And if I am not prominently featured in your next slideshow I don't know what I'm gonna do Do I love you, or is this feeling just a little pain? A treasure chest is broken easily open And usually I am such a happy prince Behind the iron curtain, the city walls a solid prison And I better be prominently featured in your next slideshow 'Cause I paid a lot of money to get you over here, you know? And if I am not prominently featured in your next slideshow I don't know what I'm gonna do! Do I love you? Do I love you? Yes I do

Nothing so bright Nothing so small Nothing so pure as my baby All of my life Days into nights All i did dream was my baby Until the day Darkness entwined with silver eyes Was my baby staring at me And since then I cant see straight And since then My smiles been fake Funny, i know the troubles ive seen But through one eye only thats clean If you bring along your needles Then ill bring my sharpened pencils And draw one more comic traged So call up the child players From madame well rent the parlor and dance to death till i cant see My baby
