halloween

the night the artist caused a scene

the night i heard about his queen

i'm just glad my clock was clean

hit the road

hit the ceiling

hit my friends

and watch while it ends

harder harder hardest

i am the artist

that makes it easy for you

to paint you in a corner

or at least he might have said

i know what it is to be sad

you should see what i once had

eighty-three

man that's where i'd like to be

god help me

harder harder hardest

i am the artist

that makes it easy for you

to paint you in a corner

alcoholic alchemy

write a song for me

i can turn lead into gold

just don't let me get old

la la la. what i find

is i can drink until i'm blind

but i don't mind

have a heart

just take one look at my art

it should give me amnesty

it means everything to me

harder harder hardest

i am the artist

that makes it easy for you

to paint you in a corner

alcoholic alchemy

write a song for me

i have turned lead into gold

how did i get old?
