Lifted Red (Skelton) [feat. The Racquet]

Surfing for used art
On offer up buys
Commemorative signature print
Had caught my eye
The marvelous hues and pastels inside
You said you'd paint their eyes first
They'd watch you the whole time

Your father a burlesque clown
You one of the same
Followed in his foot steps
Though you never met his face
A stranger's advice sent you into lime light
Celluloid star born and colorized

Your spirit
Has been lifted red
On oil canvas
Living on
Each of our walls
Your presence is felt
Down each of the halls

Enlightened soul
Long after gone
The living respond
I hope you know your name carries

The piece was delivered and
Hung once arrived
The bedroom has a looming as if
The walls now have eyes
Learned more about you and your
Remarkable career
Your adolescent sweetness
To your family affairs

Lost your only son on his
Birthday of ten
Your wife took her own life
His anniversary death
Why even go on arthritic in pain
The therapeutic brush strokes
Mask medicine in paint

Your spirit
Has been lifted red
On oil canvas
Living on
Each of our walls
Your presence is felt
Down each of the halls

If your with Lothian again
And if this reaches you Red
Just know that I fear
Less of death

Your spirit
Has been lifted red
On oil canvas
Living on
Each of our walls
Your presence is felt
Down every hall
