about

His genius was his ability to take concrete and ordinary things, drawn skillfully and perfectly, and juxtapose them in ways that were shocking and bizarre...

lyrics

Rene Magritte burst out of Lessines and he dove into Paris on a rush
Painting wallpaper didn’t get it done, so he got strung out on the easel brush
Beautiful World. Empire of Lights. Key to the Fields in his hand.
Everybody listen to the story/world of wonders that you drew
The day that I saw glory is the day that I saw you

What’s wrong with a train coming out of a fireplace? See it every morning of the day.
Companions of Fear, with their bronze owl faces /growing from the ground/from the mountain-top down
You took mundane, wedded to profane/infinity and limits hand in hand
Everybody listen to the story/world of wonders that you drew
The day that I saw glory is the day that I saw you

The human condition is a bright blue sky over cities buried in the night
The False Mirror sees an eye behind the sky, thereby describes the lie
Weird all his life, married to his wife, only 69 when he died
Everybody listen to the story/world of wonders that you drew
The day that I saw glory is the day that I saw you
