Poor De Chirico (LP版) - 10,000 Maniacs
Oh my dear friend
My dear friend Giorgio
How has this time Breton
Discouraged your liaison with the
Eye styled metaphysical
Incon
Incongruous scenarios
Dauntly jaunt about
Through nostalgic despair
Within childlike renderings
Of a nightmarish recall
All my images Fragments
I've shored upon my ruins
Pictor classicus sum
I am pure
Oh my dear friend
My dear friend Giorgio
How has this time Breton
Discouraged your liaison with the
Eye styled metaphysical
Incon
Incongruous scenarios
Step solemn with the
Air of reluctant manes
As rod and hoop shadow children
Scatter through a henna arcade
Figures indentured
To a windless landscape
Enduring silence and flame
Da da
No more criminal loyalty to the nonsensical
Scorned their nihilist pageantry
Dauntly jaunt about
Through nostalgic despair
Within childlike renderings
Of a nightmarish recall
All my images Fragments
I've shored upon my ruins
Pictor classicus sum
I am pure
