 When I go out with artists,
 If I were David  Byrne,

 F#m
 they talk about the language and the 
 I'd go to galleries and
 
 D               A
 cubists and the dadaists and I
 not be too con  cerned.  Well, I would

 Bm                 E
 try to catch their meanings
 have a cup of      coffee

 D          E                 A
 and keep up with    all of their mar  tinis.
 and I'd find my sur roundings quite a musing.  And

 E          A             D           F#m  E
 I don't know which  should be my favorite  paintings.
 people would ask me which were my favorite paintings.

 What if the artists ran the TV?
 E               A              B
 All the ads would be for fine scotch or whiskey
 C#m          B
 Glenfiddich, Glenlivet,

 C#m            F#
 The artists of the future
 G#m
 will make up new things and 
 E               B          
 different nomen clatures.  And they'll
 C#m                 F#
 stand amongst their pictures
 E
 and they'll sing and 
 F#          B
 laugh and quote from scriptures.  And
 F#
 when they go home,
 B                 E           G#m  F#
 They'll dream of brilliant paintings.
