Lyrics

[Intro] Uh! Uh! Hey! You know what you're giving out Hey! "Ladies and gentlemen, live from Athens, the Famous Five. Presenting, all the way from London, in Lane Number One: the remarkable, rambunctious... David Rhodes! Lane Number Two from the shores of New Jersey: the legendary Mr David Sancious! Hey! Number Three: the lore, the charm, the elegance, the sophistication that Paris can muster… c'est Monsieur Manu Katché! Number Four: the man who paid off all the judges before the show began… it's me! Hey! Finally, last, but by no means least… the infamous, the notorious… Room Number 834, Mr Tony Levin! This is a song written with Laurie Anderson and called 'This Is…', 'This Is…', no, 'This Is the Picture'." [Verse 1] Flying birds, excellent birds Watch them fly Falling snow, excellent snow Watch it fall Long words, excellent words I can hear them now [Chorus] This is the picture This is the picture This is the picture This is the picture This is the picture This is the picture This is the picture This is the picture [Verse 2] Sitting by the window Watching the snow fall I'm looking out I'm moving, turning in time Catching up, moving in Jump up [Chorus] This is the picture This is the picture This is the picture This is the picture This is the picture This is the picture This is the picture This is the picture [Interlude] [Outro] Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Pictures of people Pictures of people Pictures of people Pictures of people Pictures of people I see pictures of people Pictures of people Hey!
