You don't understand me
and my complicated heart
no one understands me
so I must be art
paint me in a corner
nail me to the wall
but don't let me go
hope you don't wait til I'm gone
to put me in your show

Try to see the picture
from my funky point of view
doesn't mean I'm crazy
if I'm crazier than you
don't make me do something foolish
I could be a modern day Van Gogh
(Oh, no...)
hope you don't wait til I'm gone
to put me in your show

Frame me, name me, call me anything you like
but call me, call me, tell me I'm a thing you like
collect me, respect me
nothing else can soothe the savage heart
Must be art

Must be doing something
'cause it seems like every day
a confederacy of dunces
stands up in my way
don't make me do something foolish
I could be a modern-day Mozart
(slow to start)
hope you don't wait til I'm gone
to put me in your heart

Frame me, name me, call me anything you like
but call me, call me, tell me I'm a thing you like
collect me, protect me
don't let me get censored from the start
gotta be something
Must be art
