The night the artist caused a scene
 The night I heard about his queen
 I'm just glad my clock was clean

 Hit the road
 Hit the ceiling, hit my friends
 And watch while it ends

 Harder harder hardest
 I am the artist
 That makes it easy for you
 To paint you in a corner

 Marcus said
 Or at least he might have said
 I know what it is to be sad
 You should see what I once had

 Eighty-three
 Man that's where I'd like to be
 God help me

 Harder harder hardest
 I am the artist
 That makes it easy for you
 To paint you in a corner

 Alcoholic alchemy
 Write a song for me
 I can turn lead into gold
 Just don't let me get old
 La la la...

 What I find
 Is I can drink until I'm blind
 But I don't mind

 Have a heart
 Just take one look at my art
 It should give me amnesty
 It means everything to me

 Harder harder hardest
 I am the artist
 That makes it easy for you
 To paint you in a corner

 Alcoholic alchemy
 Write a song for me
 I have turned lead into gold
 How did I get old
