(I Want to Live on an) Abstract Plain

I've had it with this town

I never saw those shifting skies

I never saw the ground

Or the sunset rise

I want to live on an abstract plain

I'm building a frame

A place to put my ten-yard stare

Thinking of that paint

Painted in plein-air

I want to live on an abstract plain

I need a new address

I want some new terrain

Is it North or South?

I want to live on an abstract plain

I could sit on the roof

On top of that abstract house

See my abstract view

An abstract mouse

I want to live on an abstract plain

I need a new address

Tell me I'm not insane

Is it up or down?

I want to live on an abstract plain
