World's Fair, 1893 Songtext
von Canary Complex

Oh, if I could be frozen like the girl in that Renoir.
To live inside a moment: a sky that don′t grow dark
(not until the painting disintegrates).
The circular motion of an endless day
Makes the centerpiece to that landscape
Only count the days until the fair.


Six months flew by the same as they came.
We fall into our routines.
The eyes of strange men penetrate your frame:
You know you won't grow old like us.

Remember how you lived my life? (I lived as you)
Sycophants to Edison; we were the mariner′s tattoos.
As impressionists, we took our time to make the sunlight glow.
How quickly the sun did set
When no one even noticed it was there.

Six months flew by the same as they came.
We fell into our routines.
The eyes of strange men penetrate your frame:
You know you won't grow old.
