[Verse 1]
Ars Longa Vita Brevis
Life is too short to paint a kiss
So sing a picture, paint a song
Take it home and bang your gong
'Cause life is an ill cast comedy for fools

[Verse 2]
Ars Longa Vita Brevis
A caption to a life of bliss
A rose too beautiful to see
Jumped off the bush and spoke to me
Of life that's an ill cast comedy for fools

[Bridge]
May I have a rose please?
My hands will get stuck to the paint
