Jeroen Anthoniszoon Van Aken

I like to paint in the danger zone where the world is in my eye.
I see it all through a ball of glass and this is what I spy.
I spy a drunken midget and I paint him in the nude.
How rude!

I see a warty tree outside and I draw it full of ears.
I go to church each Sunday morn and suck up to all my peers.
They call me mister master,
and masterful I am

I am Jeroen Anthoniszoon van Aken
I am Superman awakened!
I'm silver rocket blue!
I'm a piece of mind and mystery.
It's true!
I'm you!

I see an orange pricked with cloves and I pick it up to smell.
I put it in a dark alcove with a burning skull of hell.
I dangle broken holly to add a bit of spice.
How nice!

I live alone but with a maid and we have lot of sex.
I paint her naked bottom red like everyone expects.
I never drink on Sunday,
a pious man I am.

I am Jeroen Anthoniszoon van Aken
I am Superman awakened!
I'm silver rocket blue!
I'm a piece of mind and mystery.
It's true!
I'm you!

I remember what my mother say.
She say be good and kind.
I remember what my father say.
He say by smart and hide
away,
away,
away,
your mind!

I see a clown in a tartan vest and imagine him in tears.
I see my mother weeping for a son consumed by fears.
I see plaster fairy queen drinking from a can
She blinks and calls master, and masterful I am!

I am Jeroen Anthoniszoon van Aken
I am Superman awakened!
I'm silver rocket blue!
I'm a piece of mind and mystery.
It's true!
I'm you!
