From down below the bottles crack, slowing fast The paint brush bows, it's made to last, a paint filled slash The arts been done and hangs from the wall, it sure won't fall My cell phone rings and who should call, who knows what for? Fade out in velvet sheets Fade out in velvet sheets The canvas drips, its blues and reds, the carpet drenched My pencil burns, the smell of lead, it fills my head I check my watch, see that time, i'm nearly blind A stupid song, a silly rhyme, it's so sublime Fade out in velvet sheets Fade out in velvet sheets
