lyrics

rothko and clyfford and mary alice
summer of 1943
rothko and clyfford and mary alice
knocking round berkeley

saying won’t you come
won’t you come down to the gallery
stand here, no there, no here, no there, a little closer
tell me what do you see

and he’ll shake, shake,
shake the canvas clean
and he’ll shout,
shout his victory
but when you say I see red, all I see is red,
he’ll tell you no no no, no no no

it’s about myth in the modern conscious
it’s a skeptic’s society
it’s a room of mystic experience
it resolves eternal need

it’s not about love
never love, never you and me
it’s his very own birth of tragedy

red he said? this is not red
it’s the space between you and I
it’s the will of the hard black night
this is the handle of the knife
in 1970

this is a study in red (3x)
and his whole—
too afraid of real, it’s surreal
and the color that’s been chasing him
is getting closer. pick up the knife or
settle down to a life of black and red
