[Verse 1]
Are you listening?
Your hands, they've not stopped all day
All the drafting, the fags
And the nicotine stains

[Verse 2]
Charles, are you here?
How I yearn at night for some warmth
To see your breath in the cold
Can't feel you at all

[Chorus]
Take it away from here
Oh, from us a masterpiece is born and it will be exquisite
Oh, you'll be something to see
When you're done, a masterpiece is on the wall

[Post-Chorus]
I know I cannot, I'll never be
I know I cannot, I'll never be

[Verse 3]
Do you call me selfish?
Well, I'll keep you locked in your place
'Til you get it, regret it
Then take it away
[Chorus]
Take me away from here
Oh, from us a masterpiece is coming and it is exquisite
Oh, I'll be something to see
When I'm done, I'll be your masterpiece on the wall

[Post-Chorus]
I know I cannot, I'll never be
I know I cannot, I'll never be
