They pose symmetrical
|
Scattered through the Echo Hall
|
Works of art in pensive phase
|
With the worldy critics gaze
|
And there's a special one
|
Another convert to the throng
|
And maybe in her wildest dreams she is a human
|
But anyone with brains can see she is the new one
|
|
The artist uses short brush strokes just like the master
|
Wave the finished product in the air to dry it faster
|
Then they spray themselves with anti-tarnish ultra gloss
|
It reduces flaking and this cramps[?] would come
|
With hanging on the cross

You might have thought all hope was lost
|
But now the chance is yours - and for a reasonable cost
|
|
She does her face in Cubist fashion like the others
|
Tonight the curator protects them with blue covers
|
And what's the point of looking pretty with no audience?
|
And won't you find it sad that beauty's based on inexperience?
|
|
And as for her we heard she had a little accident
|
Someone tipped her over and her face received a fatal dent
|
So it's all over because who likes imperfection?
|
Her only hope is that it might become a fashion
|
|
See only certainty
|
Bargain hunting destiny
|
Maybe she'll redeem herself with mightiness from off the shelf
|
Thus concludes the story of the Echo Gallery
|
Visit any time to see the fools who sold themselves to slavery
