And is it blood on his shoulder, a little on his cheek? He told her he’d be home inside a week He said he just needs a little time to clear out his head A few good nights sleepin’ on a cheap motel bed In a little town somewhere north of Venice by the beach Where everyone’s a little out of reach Yeah, it’s just a portrait of the artist as a middle-aged man Staring blankly at the canvas with his trembling hand While back at home they’re hanging tinsel and fighting back the tears No one’s singing Christmas songs around here ’Cause here’s just rag mags and some menthols in a crumpled shopping bag He’s got the Avis blacked out Camaro keys in his other hand And he looks down at the ocean at the end of the road He thinks, “I’d rather drown than charge up my phone”. But now it’s raining in Latigo, it’s slippery on the road She’s dialing up another song he doesn’t know Some girls quite like country music but that’s not so common now Boys, you know what I’m talking about Now, it’s just a portrait of the driver as a middle-aged man Riding shotgun is a woman that he could never understand She’s got her feet up the dashboard while he fumbles for the gears Neither one’s been so dissatisfied in years But have you ever seen the city from a rental car at night? Through a foggy rear view mirror, it’s a melancholy sight And when you bit the hand that fed you And hurt the ones you love the most Well, it’s best you just keep driving up the coast Well, now she’s paying with his credit card While he’s gathering up his thoughts She’s got peroxide and a ponytail, and some cut-off denim shorts Bare midriff and a bracelet that was just this morning bought You see it all ends up as evidence in court Yeah, it’s just a portrait of the husband as a middle-aged man He’s standing there all stripped to bare and covered in fake tan She’s dancing in the shallows while he’s clinging to his beer Who knows, he could be dead inside a year Yeah, it’s just a portrait of the artist as a middle-aged man Staring blankly at the canvas with his trembling hand And he’d appreciate an audience to watch him disappear Any luck and he’ll be dead inside a year While back at home they’re hanging tinsel and fighting back the tears No one’s singing Christmas songs around here --- P & C 2023 Icons Creating Evil Art All Rights Reserved.
