Three Stripes To The Wind — Bank Street Martyrs

THREE STRIPES TO THE WIND

Its a fine line to walk
but he made the right choice
He paints with his young mind
in an old masters voice

A Garcon that arose
from the Tullichewan streets
There's magic afoot
in his fingertip beats

He channels his past
and that was a blast
a nonchalant superstar
with a pop tart panache

He cuts a swathe, a furrow
tween old and tomorrow
A Go Go Van Gogh
and a signature non logo

His inspiration is broad
with a precision from god
In Jazz he does trust
Beyond Basquiat's brush

He caresses the classic
with a twist and a treat
Three Stripes to the Wind
And to Lovers of Rene Magritte

Chorus:
Moving with Monet
Go Go Go Van Gogh
Dancing with Dali
