The Scream - The Cat Empire

I, I caught it in a gallery

A painting that was called The Scream

On a day off in Norway

I, I stood before it aimlessly

That figure seemed so close to me

He’s with me everyday

What’s the matter with me?

What’s the matter with me?

What’s the matter with me?

Is it internal, or externally?

Sometimes I want to scream like that

Sometimes I want to hear that sound

Sometimes I want to hold my face

And feel the world turning upside down and all around

The colours swirl endlessly

And everywhere the colours bleed

Is everything I’ve never known

Screaming back at me

Real fake Is anybody listening?

Fake real

Is it horrific?

Is anybody listening?

Or is it ecstasy?

Or is it just a dream?

In sound

I couldn’t run away

All around in surround

It was coming from me anyway

Sometimes I want to scream like that

Sometimes I want to hear that sound

Sometimes I want to hold my face

And feel the world turning upside down and all around

The colours swirl endlessly

And everywhere the colours bleed

Is everything I’ve never known

Screaming back at me

In the wild wild free

The wild wild free

It’s you and me

In the wild wild free

Can only have been

Can only have been

Can only have been

Painted by a madman, madman

Can only have been

Can only have been

Can only have been

Painted by a madman, madman

Can only have been

Can only have been

Can only have been

Painted by a madman, madman
