The Flat Horizon

I wanna paint your portrait in bright color

I wanna paint the lines in red and blue

I wanna make your eyes appear like starlings

Saying, "Darling, I love you!"

I wanna set your face upon a landscape

I wanna show the love and toil and sweat

I wanna show your beauty like a crystal

In an all-night launderette



Chorus:

Oh this line is the flat horizon

And you are the shape on the left

Oh this line is the flat horizon

And this is the sun in the sky

Oh this line is the flat horizon

And makes the great divide

Between heaven and angels

And earth and men



I wanna show what lies beneath the surface

In little squares of purple, green and gold

So everyone can see their own reflection

In the mirror of your soul

I wanna paint your arrogance and beauty

I wanna paint the way you laugh at me

I wanna paint the world in which I see you

Fixed for all eternity



Repeat Chorus



I wanna paint your portrait in bright color

I wanna paint your personality

I wanna show the world just how I see you

I wanna show the world just how I see you

You know that only I can guarantee you

Precious immortality

Precious immortality



Repeat Chorus
