Guess what these lyrics mean
Song by Citizen Cope called Pablo Picasso, I thought it was pretty cool when I discovered what the song was about, try to figure it out
Lyrics:
The woman that I love
Is forty feet tall
She's a movie star
She's all in the papers
And everywhere i go
People hand me quarters
And they pat me on the back
They treat me like im famous
I'll never leave her side
'Cause today can be dangerous
And when the night arrives
The light hit her features
And the cars drive by
Just so they could see her
And she never bats an eye
When someone takes her picture
Mr.Officer if you've come to take her
Then that means one of us
Gonna end up in a stretcher
Gonna end up in the papers, going end up in the papers, yeah
If i had a pistol
I'd brandish it and wave it
She's the only one alive that knows that I'm not crazy
She's gonna testify on my behalf
Down at the Navy
So I can get some peace
And provide for my babies
I got a stick and a bottle
I'll pretend I got a razor
Helicopters and cameras all shottin' for the station
They say that a wild man defending his lady
But for some odd reason they keep calling you a painting

"I can ride my bike with no handle bars, no handle bars, no handle bars!

lady liberty..... refering to statue of liberty in some phrases and ideas she represents in others
the FloBots I am lost I did find the song catchy and remembered there was an underlying message regarding government or something though its been a while since I heard it.

It is indeed popularly believed to be about a homeless man in love with a billboard.

"Some crazy homeless guy that loves a mural/billboard/poster?" Yes.
"It is indeed popularly believed to be about a homeless man in love with a billboard." And yes. Also it's possible he's a bit crazy. Also he thinks she's a real person. Good job guys.
