Marlene Kuntz Schiele, She and Me Lyrics

Schiele, sensuous quiet and she as bewitched
by an emaciated body
posing with frail sin
in front of her eyes.

A fireplace warms up the room
with its sinuous flames
whirling weightless where she's resting
her lightened feet and every bit of shame.

I enter the scene I see
and I fantasize she's looking at me, for a while
"Do you see the man in the painting?"
I ask her playing his role and not mine.

I look at her staring at the body
of that thin, confused man
and her thoughts give rise to shadows
of sensual pleasure on her enchanted face.

I wonder if she knows that behind
her sun-touched back
there's an emaciated man
in this dumb Hotel in this gloomy vale

I enter the scene I see
and I fantasize she's looking at me, for a while
"Do you see the man in the painting?"
I ask her playing his role and not mine
