The Flat Horizon

I want to paint your portrait in bright color
I want to paint the lines in red and blue
I want to make your eyes appear like starlings
Saying, "Darling, I love you!"
I want to set your face upon a landscape
I want to show the love and toil and sweat
I want to show your beauty like a crystal
In an all-night launderette

[Chorus]
Oh this line is the flat horizon
And you are the shape on the left
Oh this line is the flat horizon
And this is the sun in the sky
Oh this line is the flat horizon
And makes the great divide
Between heaven and angels
And earth and men

I want to show what lies beneath the surface
In little squares of purple, green and gold
So everyone can see their own reflection
In the mirror of your soul
I want to paint your arrogance and beauty
I want to paint the way you laugh at me
I want to paint th world in which I see you
Fixed for all eternity

[Chorus]

I want to paint your portrait in bright color
I want to paint your personality
I want to show the world just how I see you
I want to show the world just how I see you
You know that only I can guarantee you
Precious Immortality
Precious Immortality

[Chorus]
