got caught kicking the canvas down   i had plans but they never seemed to work out   wide-eyed and on the lookout   got caught tearing the whole thing down   i was halfway done   but then you know this painted scene   could never leave me   oh please believe me      caught killing a camera    now it seems calming and clear to hire   a cast of kittens, the cats we've been kissing   for the cameras we're lowering here   got caught tearing the whole thing down   i was halway done   but then we sang it for memphis   the new slang in frame and canvas   just for the cameras         when we are awake we sing "never... ever"   this is where you must make up your mind   should beauty be design this time?   this time you decide cause we go with whatever   we take our time         got a cough   my throat kills from singing   my ears are ringing   the stage is slowly sinking   and we're all thinking the same thing   let's not settle for satisfaction   we are women and men of action   let's stop clapping let's start doing   a dream for the teens and in-betweens   and twenties yet unseen.
