"Arts & Crafts" lyrics

"Arts & Crafts"

It's a national chain with a memorable name
Selling arts and crafts
With a cute little hustle flexing their muscle
And a knack for black market artifacts

Alizarin crimson
Magic white and
Midnight black
Once you see the happy valley
There's no going back

The cradle of civilization
Looks better in a proper frame
All smiles and matching sweaters
Hanging on the wall with collectible plates

Pazuzu's wings stretch far and wide
Above the bedazzlers
Idle hands make for devil's work
So bring on the dancing satyrs

Alizarin crimson
Magic white and
Midnight black
Once you leave the happy valley
There's no going back

The cradle of civilization
Looks better in a proper frame
All smiles and matching sweaters
Hanging on the wall with collectible plates
The cradle of civilization
Looks better in a proper frame
All smiles and matching sweaters
Hanging on the wall with collectible plates

The haboob busts the doors wide open and then
Miss Inanna comes strutting through
All decked out in seasonal wares
And a cart full of royal blue

The cradle of civilization
Looks better in a proper frame
All smiles and matching sweaters
Hanging on the wall with collectible plates
The cradle of civilization
Looks better in a proper frame
All smiles and matching sweaters
Hanging on the wall with collectible plates
