about

A little Halloween romp I wrote about a very naughty painter. A song to rollick around to on Halloween night, rampant horror themes with a mere intention to induce spooky-silliness. A song not to be taken seriously. Have some fun and enjoy yourself! ;) With Love, Yolande, Velvet Jeanie. x

lyrics

Oh I'm feeling blue
I'm seeing green and I'm hearing the red in your head
'Cause when you walk in the room
I don't know how they cope
Scene of the crime on your hands

You did it to them, you did it to us
Now hand in your keys, find a place to sleep

Now in with the shrink on the chesterfield
He nods for him to unravel

I need professional help for seeing these colours everywhere
Oh Mr. Shrink do tell me why
The urge does stir in the dead of night?

That isn't right, that isn't right!
Says the Irish man in his collar
See in the beginning he whispered first
Instructing ever so carefully

To be sure, to be sure
Ya be goin mad there
Wanna join our clan, aiy?
First you've got to pass our test
Let out your cutlass: employ unrest
And grab his neck and cut him well
In the graffiti covered alleyway

Oh he can't 'cause...

The justice system is getting him down
It's getting him down, it's getting him down
The justice system is getting him down
It's getting him down, it's getting him down

Justice system is getting me down
It's getting me down, it's getting me down
Oh shut it now I'll slice my ear
You're getting me god-damned down!

The columnists say: "Ingenious Jim
An artist he is that"
But the news today they claim: "The quirk
In the form he creates
Is a splat!"

Now in with the shrink on the chesterfield,
He nods for him to unravel...

*

Now in the alley after the shrink
The dusk has hit the colourful street
The Irish grin possesses him
The paintbrush in his hand
