lyrics

what about that guy?
could he make a believer out you?
is he as good as the next guy?
or is the best part about him that he’s new?

could he find you some saturday, alone in your room?
or bring you chicken soup cooked up on the moon?
or is this something you’ve already discovered on your own?

I guess the assumption is he could love you ‘til he’s dead
I guess the mistake might be that nothing’s real until it’s said
and actions are responsible for the ones who do them
they shape and shake you until you get through them
or is this a feeling that you’re just acting on right now?

because I know myself too well

for every one who thinks you deserve your own life
have never put it past the words, they might be right
but of course they are

for every one who sinks there’s one thousand still afloat
for every one who drinks there’s one thousand who have willed the world their family coats
and we thank them

for every one who knows there’s something after this life
there’s a million or so passing funeral pipes
and the seeds of the grapes of delight
for a one life life

there’s always someone taking what belongs to the road
there’s always someone making off with the purse of the old
and finding secrets nobody ought to know
they’re breaking the code

about

the stolen picassos Chicago, Illinois

members of the stolen picassos, dave martin and david richardson, live in two distant and remote lands.

they stay connected through an elaborate series of 1's and 0's sent over digital airwaves.

occasionally dave makes the trap-laden trek to david's home studio where they musically joust, cast spells and conjure new sounds.

they don't want to die. they want to record more music.
