Lyrics

The Figures of Art

It's easier to drink on an empty stomach

Than eat on a broken heart

The figures of art

And that kind of thing only will bring you apart

I'll give it just one more chance

I need to go get some leg and some shine on my shoes

I need a new pair of pants and take part in it too

Like figures of art

Do-do-do-do-do-do-do

Do-do-do-do-do-do-do

It's easier to eat on a broken stomach

Than drink on an empty heart

The figures of art

At quarter to three, where you wanna be is hard
