lyrics

You drew a picture of me, man, I can’t believe just what I see.

My eyes ain’t two turned-off TV screens, like you make em seem.

I’m so much smarter than you drew me,

seems like you never knew me.

Much more taller than you draw me,

I’d a guessed that you never saw me at all.

Then you put that picture of me on a tattoo along your wrist,

and run it up your sleeve.

It’s flat and it lacks 3D relief.

A black and spastic proof of me.

That I knew should never be seen. Centuries in a day,

And a space is just a place in between.

All the places that my blurred face has been in…

And those dazed eyes you drew me in…

And so I’ll bury my head like a tomb down a pyramid.

You’ll never see my kind again. But

I’m so much smarter than you drew me,

seems like you never knew me.

Much more taller than you draw me,

I’d a guessed that you never saw me at all.
