Pablo Picasso - Citizen Cope

The woman that I love is forty feet tall

she’s a movie star, she’s all in the papers and

everywhere i go, people hand me quarters and

they pat me on the back, they treat me like i’m famous.

I never leave her side cuz today can be dangerous, and when the night arrives

the light hits her features and

cars drive by just so they can see her, and

she never bats and eye when someone takes a picture.

Chorus:

Mr officer, if you come to take her

then that means one of us,

gunna end up in the stretcher.

Say, Mr officer, if you come to take her

then that means that one of us

gunna end up in a stretcher…

say… gunna end up in the paper (end chorus)

If I had a pistol I’d brandish it and wave it,

she’s the only one alive that knows that i’m not crazy,

she’s gunna testify on my behalf down at the navy

so i can get some peace and provide for my babies

Got a stick in a bottle, i pretend I got a razor

helicoptors and cameras are shooting for the station

they say that a wild man is defending his lady,

but for some odd reason, they’re calling you a painting

(Chorus) repeat three times
