(I Want To Líve On An) Abstract Plain

Frank Black · 93-03 [2007]

I've had it with this town

I never saw those shifting skies

I never saw the ground

Or the sunset rise

I want to live on an abstract plain



I'm building a frame

A place to put my ten-yard stare

Thinking of that paint

Painted in plein-air

I want to line on an abstract plain



I need a new adress

I want some new terrain

Is it North or South ?

I want to live on an abstract plain



I could sit on the roof

On top of that abstract house

See my abstract view

An abstract mouse

I want to live on an abstract plain



I need a new adress

Tell my I'm not insane

Is it up or down ?

I want to live on an abstract plain
