Pablo Picasso Lyrics

Cover art for Pablo Picasso lyrics by Citizen Cope

This just kinda came to me, but i think this is about a street painter how paints a forty foot woman on a wall. The newspapers publish stories on him and people give him quarters and pat him on the back because they are impressed. It becomes a kind of attraction, which is why people take pictures and drive up at night to see it. Eventually the police come to take it down because it is on city property and is technically graffiti. He puts up a fight and gets further news coverage.

I dunno to me this makes the most sense, after all nobody goes to see billboards or takes pictures of them...

Clarence Greenwood is describing the statue of liberty in this song. The woman that I love

Is forty feet tall She's a movie star She's all in the papers And everywhere i go People hand me quarters And they pat me on the back They treat me like im famous I'll never leave her side 'Cause today can be dangerous And when the night arrives The light hit her features And the cars drive by Just so they could see her And she never bats an eye When someone takes her picture she never bats her eyes.

the liberty statue...
