Charcoal on a Canvas
Lyrics
I said "We're not art yet, I just don't know what we are right now"
You said, "It doesn't matter, doesn't matter anyhow"
I say "We could make our stay more memorable"
You say, "There's no guarantee it will be better"
Don't you want to be in my gallery?
Don't you want somebody who can capture you on canvas?
Charcoal on a canvas
I said, "You're my fantasy in the real world"
You said, "What does that mean, what does that mean anyway?"
I say "I'll slay dragons if you'll sit for me"
You say, "Put your stuff away I ain't posing"
Don't you want to be in my gallery?
Don't you want somebody who can capture you on canvas?
Charcoal on a canvas
We're just a work in progress
Charcoal on a canvas
I like your shadows
That's where the truth is, truth is, the truth is
I can create what is never spoken
If you can't relate to the words
Please let me paint you I'll make you green and blue
And you can hang in my room
Don't you want to be in my gallery?
Don't you want somebody who can capture you?
Don't you want to be in my gallery?
Don't you want somebody who can capture you on canvas?
I said "We're not art yet, I just don't know what we are right now"
You said, "It doesn't matter, doesn't matter anyhow"
I say "We could make our stay more memorable"
You say, "There's no guarantee it will be better"
Don't you want to be in my gallery?
Don't you want somebody who can capture you on canvas?
Charcoal on a canvas
I said, "You're my fantasy in the real world"
You said, "What does that mean, what does that mean anyway?"
I say "I'll slay dragons if you'll sit for me"
You say, "Put your stuff away I ain't posing"
Don't you want to be in my gallery?
Don't you want somebody who can capture you on canvas?
Charcoal on a canvas
We're just a work in progress
Charcoal on a canvas
I like your shadows
That's where the truth is, truth is, the truth is
I can create what is never spoken
If you can't relate to the words
Please let me paint you I'll make you green and blue
And you can hang in my room
Don't you want to be in my gallery?
Don't you want somebody who can capture you?
Don't you want to be in my gallery?
Don't you want somebody who can capture you on canvas?
