I'm Dedicating My Life To Art

from Your Mother Was Right About Me by Jared Morris and the Nice Price

/

lyrics

I know you would have loved it
But I just don't have the budget
To pull it off

A drop of water in the ocean
Causes little commotion
Before it's lost

I was being unironic
You were being unplatonic,
We both made mistakes

I made you a mixtape
Me? I’ve got songs for days
Somewhere a piano plays
But I do not play piano

I've dedicated my life to art
Oh art will take me back
Don't ask for money

Life flashes before my eyes
It takes so long don't be be surprised
I'm bored with it

Observe my common death
The same as yours, we all have them
How fortunate

I thank them for welcoming
Me into their homes to sing
Then robbed me blind

They're swinging from the rafters
With laughter; it is the rapture
And this is fine fine fine

I've dedicated my life to art
Oh art will take me back
Don't ask for money

I'm dedicated my heart to you
Because it's faithful and true
You don't want me to
Who can blame you?

Paint will fade and tapes corrode
But so do faces, so do roads
And it's getting worse

Remember what I made
When you walk on my grave
That I did it first

If you want to see them
Tapes of noise aren't in museums
I'll save you a spot

If you want I can arrange it
For a two night engagement
In my closet In a box

I've dedicated my life to art
You don't want me to
Id never name you

I'm dedicating my death to you oh
There's no one left here who
Will show up
Unless it's catered
