about

Inspired by a painting (self portrait) of Paul Citroen from the Museum De Fundatie: www.museumdefundatie.nl/nl/ontdek-de-collectie/object/?pagina=0&id=9&vervaardigers=&techniek=&datums=&query=paul+citroen.

lyrics

The man with the yellow face

An angry man on a painting
He's gotta a yellow face
Maybe no coincidence
when your surename is citroen
Meaning lemon O Goddamn

Standing there very stridently
in the middle of the room
Very soon he's gonna walk away
Into the world behaving like a loon

Wading thru air like it's water
Going upstream no never make it easy on yourself
Scratching his arms
Hurting his feet
Like Jesus he's gonna let it bleed

Standing there very eagerly
In the middle of that room
Very soon he's gonna walk away
Hit the street behaving like a loon

Fuck that moon
damn the stars
The war that would end all wars
That big fuckin' lie
Most of his friends died
The paint that never dries
Never dries

The biggest cliché of all
Nothing is permanent
It's all gonna crumble and fall
Gonna tell you a secret
The man with the yellow face
Well he's is not really angry at all
