A million miles from nowhere
Not intending to see anyone again
Went into a bookstore
Just to shelter for a minute from the rain
Then came Vincent Van Gogh
The rain in the sky seemed to stop
A wise man told me not to follow the sun
With beating heart and shining eyes
Showing to all I was ready to smile
I caught the train
Then walked and rode a thousand miles
Ready to smile if someone should say, "Not you again"
Here comes another Vincent Van Gogh
A madman with a paint pot
Oh boy, I'm free
Now I know what I want to be
Here he comes
Another Vincent Van Gogh
Oh boy, another Vincent Van Gogh
Oh boy, another Vincent Van Gogh
My brother sent me presents every week
Until his wife called it a day
Now I'm here in my yellow room
Slowly wasting away
The children call me Wilfred the Clock
The madman with a paint pot
Oh boy, I'm free
Now I know what I want to be
Here he comes
Another Vincent Van Gogh
Oh boy, another Vincent Van Gogh
Oh boy, another Vincent Van Gogh
