Gordon Downie - Starpainters lyrics

The myth is neither here nor there, from the air It's just blue lake stains and green And purified and parcelled squares A crazy quilt of spearmint Of mustard and honey tones A scuffed-up kitchen floor Of tiles on top of bones with a big trap door Towns down diagonal lines Disappear and drop out of sight Into the night Beyond the endless night And underneath the grit and glare In the unfettered nothingness and thin air As herds of clouds lazily graze On thermal sighs of delight The Starpainters are taking over now Their scaffolding is in its place Your anaesthesiologist tonight Is washing up and on her way
