Drawing the Head Songtext
von Grant‐Lee Phillips

What if I fail? Oh, no
Afraid I might splinter into sunlight
Charcoal lines lost in the eyes
And the mouth just lies

It ain′t nothing but practicing, practice
Drawing the head
Yeah, the rest of me is riddled with doubt
All in my head

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh


Pencil and pad, half light
Trying to render it all
Shafts and shadows, scars on the face
Fragile like a doll

It ain't nothing but practicing, practice
Drawing the head
Yeah, the rest of me is riddled with doubt
All in my head
It ain′t nothing but practicing, practice
Drawing the head

Oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
