MODIGLIANI EYES
you stare off past the window and the sky
you don't see if I'm dead or alive
you're blank as canvas you're tough as stone
I carve your statue then I'm all alone

and you look right through me
with your Modigliani eyes
do you see my future
with your Modigliani eyes
eyes

first time I met you in that candle dim cafe
I knew I'd love you til my skin burned away
and love is ugly like a suicide
then love is pretty like a blushing bride

and you look right through me
with your Modigliani eyes
do you see my heart beat
with your Modigliani eyes
eyes

you're my model, keep holding that pose
I'm gonna paint you body and soul
before I pass out draw it down true
you are my classic masterpiece nude

and you look right through me
with your Modigliani eyes
do you see forever
with your Modigliani eyes
eyes

someday them wolves will come howling at our gravestones
but they won't dig up no secrets or bones
I already confessed I've been a prostitute
to buy guitars and write a song about you

and you look right through me
with your Modigliani eyes
do you see my future
with your Modigliani eyes
do you see my heart beat
with your Modigliani eyes
do you see forever
with your Modigliani eyes
eyes
