A Night at the Gallery
I saw a girl with a pearl earing in her ear
Our eyes meet across the room and I just couldn't help but be drawn in near
She took me where the Nighthawks dine
Where we lost track of time
You see all the clocks had melted, like camembert in the sun
Jumping right out of our chairs
And down some M.C. Escher stairs
Which lead us right to Mona, who smiles for no one
Paint me a picture and I'll picture you a painting
Together we'll capture a moment in time
Paint me a picture and I'll picture you a painting
I'll play with the light and I'll try, I'll try to get your good side.
On a Japanese bridge over waterlilies
Soaking the last of the sunset
You look to me just like an oil painting
At least that's the impression, that's the impression I get
She took me to a Night Café
Where we watched the gamblers play
Like the filthy stray dogs that they are
Underneath a starry sky
I prayed our love would never die
And that I'd love her always, always and forever
Paint me a picture and I'll picture you a painting
Together we'll capture a moment in time
Paint me a picture and I'll picture you a painting
I'll play with the light and I'll try, I'll try to
Paint you a picture and you'll picture me a painting
I'll play with the light and I'll try, I'll try to get your good side
Good side, good side
Our eyes meet across the room and I just couldn't help but be drawn in near
She took me where the Nighthawks dine
Where we lost track of time
You see all the clocks had melted, like camembert in the sun
Jumping right out of our chairs
And down some M.C. Escher stairs
Which lead us right to Mona, who smiles for no one
Paint me a picture and I'll picture you a painting
Together we'll capture a moment in time
Paint me a picture and I'll picture you a painting
I'll play with the light and I'll try, I'll try to get your good side.
On a Japanese bridge over waterlilies
Soaking the last of the sunset
You look to me just like an oil painting
At least that's the impression, that's the impression I get
She took me to a Night Café
Where we watched the gamblers play
Like the filthy stray dogs that they are
Underneath a starry sky
I prayed our love would never die
And that I'd love her always, always and forever
Paint me a picture and I'll picture you a painting
Together we'll capture a moment in time
Paint me a picture and I'll picture you a painting
I'll play with the light and I'll try, I'll try to
Paint you a picture and you'll picture me a painting
I'll play with the light and I'll try, I'll try to get your good side
Good side, good side
