Van Gogh

Don't sketch a house from the trace in our head

Grow it from the ground and live there instead

Take everything we own and move it to our brain

Pretend for days we're Magdalene and Jefferson May

[Chorus]

I don't know a thing about love before Van Gogh

I don't know a thing about love before stereo

Maggie and Jeff fall asleep on the porch

Listening to music that wasn't like yours

Two little Indie-Annies sing along, holding hands

Don't even know that’s not what love is

[Chorus]

I don't know a thing about love before Van Gogh

I don't know a thing about love before stereo

[Bridge]

Please don't bore yourself; you're just as bad as I am

(Sweet James, my darling. I won't take your money)

I know you're mad that I laughed at your life

(Obsessive and [unclear lyric], upsetting and [unclear lyric])

Who ever really cared? It was just your parents who tried

[Chorus]

I don't know a thing about love before Van Gogh

I don't know a thing about love before stereo
