Momus - The Painter lyrics

I'm crawling on hands and knees And still my dealer won't pay me Because I smashed her masterpiece The Donnizetti altarpiece I'm dressed up like a clown I'm smearing my blood around My brushes are enormous My nose is phallic like a penis I'm a painter, I know how I'm not a dog, but bow-wow I'll do anything, I'm like a cow I'm a painter, k** me now I climbed inside a tube of paint They say I'm crazy because they ain't I like Sita, I like Agrippa I love De Kooning and The Dripper I'm a painter, I like ladies They love big babies I stab my eye with a knife One day I'd like to try to take my life I'm a painter, I know how I'm not a dog, but bow-wow I'll do anything, I'm like a cow I'm a painter, k** me now Before I can even begin to make a picture I've got to make love to a butcher Some critics call me satyr Some critics call me letcher They all say I find the sublime in abjection But before you kick me out, ask yourself this question What is your definition of immaculate conception? How will you interrogate the failure of your failures Without the success of the successes of painters? I'm a painter, I know how I'm not a dog, but bow-wow I'll do anything, I'm like a cow I'm a painter, so k** me now
