Art Class (Song for Yayoi Kusama) Songtext
von Superchunk

Doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo

Here we go in spurts
The colors really burst
And you may notice a shaking in your eye
Metaphors the worst
But are you being driven or do you drive?
On a trip between two points in your infinity net
Obliterate yourself from the scene, but please do not forget

Cover me with spots
Black and red dots
Until I′m crowding up your visual field
Pale-assed and beautiful
You're reclining on your art like a shield
Doo-doo-doo
Now I want, I say, I do
Everybody dance now


And welcome to art class
Forget your acid-free paper and glass
Welcome to art class
May the bright strip bear all the past

Why so serious? (Why so serious?)
When it′s only your life that's at stake?
Why so serious?
When your life is the art that you make
Your life is the art that you make

Sell anything you want
But it's worth no more, no less than a kiss
Try not to represent even that, ′cause this moment is all that it is
In a garden of glass, there′s a red plastic tree
Sell your shit in a can, but your art is not free
I say, I want, I do
And everybody dances with me

Welcome to art class
And yes, it does involve shaking your ass
Welcome to art class
Always keep your face to the glass


Why so serious? (Why so serious?)
When it's only your life that′s at stake?
Why so serious?
When your life is the art that you make
Your life is the art that you make

Why so serious?
