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
