lyrics

Michelangelo

I'd know your face anywhere
Etched into my mind, quite unforgettable
I'd know those hands anywhere
Small and petite, something Michelangelo

Might chisel out marble, cold hard stone
Chosen from the mountains, somewhere near Rome
Polished and precise, a work of art
To stand the test of centuries, still in my heart

That's where I always go wrong
Put you on a pedestal, put you in a gallery
That's where I come on too strong
So unrealistic, it's someone you could never be

I know what happens eventually
That rarified air is quite indigestible
That's what always happens eventually
It's impossible to be, something Michelangelo

Might chisel out marble, cold hard stone
Chosen from the mountains, somewhere near Rome
Polished and precise, a work of art
To stand the test of centuries, still in my heart

That's where I always go wrong
Put you on a pedestal, put you in a gallery
That's where I come on too strong
So unrealistic, it's someone you could never be

That's where I always go wrong
Put you on a pedestal, put you in a gallery
That's where I come on too strong
So unrealistic, it's someone you could never be
