Well she, she's just a picture
 Who lives on my wall
 Well she, she's just a picture
 And the reason, reason, reason it is so small
 With a smile so inviting and a body so tall
 She, she's just a picture
 Just a picture
 That's all

 Well you stand there, stand there with the nightshade
 Her dripping ripping down your hands
 And you ask me, ask me about the lightning
 And the lady, lady, lady she understands
 It's a dream for the future and the water for the sands
 And the strangeness is wandering
 Through many callin' lands

 I'd give you, give you quite freely
 All the clothes on your gipsy bait
 And I'd suffer, suffer so long in prison
 If I knew you'd have to wait
 With the wind scouring sandstone
 And the ashes in your grate
 Somewhere no devil emperor
 The great whale's gone
 The holy plate

 And this caravan it [bad word] an alter
 And the priests, the priests are big as none 
 And I'll share, share our time together
 Until our time together is done
 But your skin it was pretty
 And I loved, I loved another one
 Now she, she's just like some picture
 That has faded in the sun

 Well she, she's just a picture
 Who lives on my wall
 Well she, she's just a picture
 And the reason, reason, reason is so small
 With a smile so inviting and a body so tall
 Well she, she's just a picture
 Just a picture
 That's all
 Just a picture
 That's all
