CITIZEN COPE pablo picasso

a great song from CITIZEN COPE's The Clarence Greenwood Recordings album
The woman that I love
Is forty feet tall
She's a movie star
She's all in the papers
And everywhere i go
People hand me quarters
And they pat me on the back
They treat me like im famous
I'll never leave her side
'Cause today can be dangerous
And when the night arrives
The light hit her features
And the cars drive by
Just so they could see her
And she never bats an eye
When someone takes her picture

Mr.Officer if you've come to take her
Then that means one of us
Gonna end up in a stretcher
Gonna end up in the papers, going end up in the papers, yeah

If i had a pistol
I'd brandish it and wave it
She's the only one alive that knows that I'm not crazy
She's gonna testify on my behalf
Down at the Navy
So I can get some peace
And provide for my babies
I got a stick and a bottle
I'll pretend I got a razor
Helicopters and cameras all shootin' for the station
They say that a wild man defending his lady
But for some odd reason they keep calling you a painting

This song is about a homeless schizo who is in love with a billboard.

@tehpoopflake I dug this song the very first time I heard it. It was very obvious ( to me at least) that it was about a schitzo homeless graffiti atrtist in love with his own painting. a 40 foot tall woman and he was'nt gonna leave her side. I don't quite understand the lyric "she's gonna testify on my behalf down at the navy...." so if anyone has any insight on that I would appreciate it. Thanks. The statue of liberty!!! WTF !!!

@melloz77 he made it!!!!!

@nathanhayes82 sorry it's not a billboard ..it's a huge paint on the wall..that's why he's famous and doesn't want the cops to take it away...;)

[FiltratedGrub]

this reminds me of Love for $17.50 by Charles Bukowski

[tehpoopflake]

I thought this thong was about a homeless man who stays be the statue of liberty and what he would do to protect her(freedom) thumbs so people can see

[MrThatsjustsad]
