Testo: Stuart Davis. The Late Stuart Davis. Chow Down.


Look at all the architecture
I love to touch the textures
of all the mortar mixtures

look at all the architecture

no one loves it more than me
that's why i have to set it free
'cause I feel the buildings weeping
I hear the brickwork screaming
it's in such misery
that's why it's begging me
chow down, chow down the buildings

chow down, chow down the buildings

look at all the sculptures
think of all the untold tortures
feels like a loud lament
from all the monuments
no one else can hear them cry
when they suffer so do I
'cause I feel the statues weeping

I hear the granite screaming
it's in such misery
that's why it's begging me

I like to lick the paintings
I wanna taste their pain
why the paintings have to hurt
lord, give me the strength to do my work
'cause I feel the paintings weeping

I hear the canvas screaming
it's in such misery
that's why it's begging me
chew through, chew through the paintings
suck up, suck up the statues
chow down, chow down the buildings
