Lyrics
0:07I think images are worth repeating
0:08Images repeated from a painting
0:17Images taken from a painting
0:19From a photo worth re-seeing
0:24I love images worth repeating
0:26Project them upon the ceiling
0:28Multiply them with silk screening
0:29See them with a different feeling
0:31Images oh images
0:34Images oh images
0:45Some say images have no feeling
0:47I think there's a deeper meaning
0:59Mechanical precision or so its seeming
1:01Instigates a cooler feeling
1:06I love multiplicity of screenings
1:07Things born anew display new meanings
1:09I think images are worth repeating
1:11And repeating and repeating
1:13Images oh images
1:16Images images
1:31I'm no urban idiot savant
1:33Spewing paint without any order
1:38I'm no sphinx no mystery enigma
1:40What I paint is very ordinary
1:45I don't think I'm old or modern
1:47I don't think I think I'm thinking
1:49It doesn't matter what I'm thinking
1:50It's the images that are worth repeating
1:53And repeating oh images
1:57Images
2:12If you're looking for a deeper meaning
2:14I'm as deep as this high ceiling
2:22If you think technique is meaning
2:24You might find me very simple
2:29You might think that images boring
2:31Cars and cans and chairs and flowers
2:33You might find me personally boring
2:35Hammer sickle Mao est tong
2:37Mao est tong
2:40Ooohhh images images
2:43Images
3:00I think that it bears repeating
3:02The images upon the ceiling
3:07I love images worth repeating
3:09And repeating and repeating
3:10Images images
3:13Oh images oh images
I think images are worth repeating Images repeated from a painting Images taken from a painting From a photo worth re-seeing I love images worth repeating Project them upon the ceiling Multiply them with silk screening See them with a different feeling Images oh images Images oh images Some say images have no feeling I think there's a deeper meaning Mechanical precision or so its seeming Instigates a cooler feeling I love multiplicity of screenings Things born anew display new meanings I think images are worth repeating And repeating and repeating Images oh images Images images I'm no urban idiot savant Spewing paint without any order I'm no sphinx no mystery enigma What I paint is very ordinary I don't think I'm old or modern I don't think I think I'm thinking It doesn't matter what I'm thinking It's the images that are worth repeating And repeating oh images Images If you're looking for a deeper meaning I'm as deep as this high ceiling If you think technique is meaning You might find me very simple You might think that images boring Cars and cans and chairs and flowers You might find me personally boring Hammer sickle Mao est tong Mao est tong Ooohhh images images Images I think that it bears repeating The images upon the ceiling I love images worth repeating And repeating and repeating Images images Oh images oh images
