People Ruin Paintings
[Verse 1]
Take the climber
Out of the mountain
Give me a Pollock, give me a Rothko
Take the explorer
Out of the wilderness
Take Van Gogh, leave us the Sunflowers
[Pre-Chorus]
People ruin paintings
Faces spoil the view
People destroy the truth
[Chorus]
I’ve looked into a million eyes
They all finish dead and destroyed
I just don’t care about the framing
'Cause people always ruin paintings
[Verse 2]
Takе the sailor
Out of the ocean
Takе the adventurer from the Arctic Circle
Take the nihilist
Out of the desert
Take the flag from the Sea of Tranquility
[Pre-Chorus]
People ruin paintings
Faces spoil the view
People destroy the truth
[Chorus]
I’ve looked into a million eyes
They all finish dead and destroyed
I just don’t care about the framing
'Cause people always ruin paintings
[Instrumental]
[Pre-Chorus]
People ruin paintings
Faces spoil the view
People destroy the truth
[Chorus]
I’ve looked into a million eyes
They all finish dead and destroyed
I just don’t care about the framing
'Cause people always ruin paintings
Ruin paintings
