The Van Gogh Complex
G C Am F G
Time stands still
In a painting
Of a starry night
Heard it all my life
As the wind blows
One more time
Someone’s saying
You might find it sad
You’re a little mad
But it’s beautiful
You’re Van Gogh
You’re Picasso
You’re Rene Magritte
Walking down the street
On a French road
You’re Van Gogh
Donatello
You’re a Kurt Cobain
Crying out his pain
In a solo
Don’t ask me
Why it should be
That the plight of life
For an artist’s strife
Can be daunting?
You’re Van Gogh
Michaelangelo
Chipping at the block
Freeing from the rock
A marble hero
You’re a Plath
Such a poet
Writing out your love
Knowing nothing of
But you show it
You’re a genius
You’re a master
Knowing in your head
Years from when you’re dead
They’ll remember
You’re Van Gogh
Don’t you know?
Feel the agony
With the ecstasy
Of every brushstroke
repeat all the Van Gogh verses
You’re Van Gogh
