Art-hounds

[Verse 1]

Art-hounds look like nothing

So Art-hounds write something

And those that do are judged by those

Who tried and found they couldn't do

Art-hounds see the Greek ideal

And gaze on what they'll never feel

Oh, the pitiless revenge of those without friends

The pitiless, the pitiless revenge

Art-hounds know what's around

Because they've seen it somewhere written down

And everything they've seen on the moving screen

Helps them fill up the page

[Chorus]

In European museums

Will I see you?

Will I see you?

Will I see you?

Will I see you?

In European museums

Will I see you?

My life is opera

My life is opera

My life is opera

My life is opera

[Verse 2]

Art-hounds in a restaurant

They bring along their loving Aunt

But when they can't find a table for their fat Aunt Mable

They stamp their feet and cry

Art-hounds in a restaurant

They bring along their loving Aunt

But when they can't find a table for their fat Aunt Mable

They stamp their feet and cry

[Chorus 2]

In European hushed museums

Will I see you?

Will I see you?

Will I see you?

Will I see you?

In European hushed museums

Will I see you?

My life is opera

My life is opera

My life is opera

My life is...

[Verse 3]

Art-hounds: very funny, very witty, but very lonely

And below the belt is shriveled and small

It functions only as a word

Art-hounds: very funny, very witty, but very lonely

And below the belt is shriveled and small

It knows a thousand woes

[Chorus 3]

In European hushed museums

Will I see you?

Will I see you?

Will I see you?

Will I see you?

In European hushed museums

Will I see you?

[Chorus 4]

If you cannot stand this fake world

If you cannot stand this fake world

Take my hand

If you cannot stand this fake world

If you cannot stand this fake world

If you cannot stand this fake world

Take my hand

If you cannot stand this fake world

[Verse 4]

I take 16 pills to send me to sleep

And 16 pills to shake me awake

[Outro]

What does it mean?

What does it mean?

What does it mean?

What does it mean?

What does it mean?

What does it mean?

What does it mean?

What does it mean?
