In Anticipation 

The Flat Horizon

Wang Chung

I wanna paint your portrait in bright color


I wanna paint the lines in red and blue


I wanna make your eyes appear like starlings


Saying, Darling, I love you


I wanna set your face upon a landscape


I wanna show the love and toil and sweat

I wanna show your beauty like a crystal


In an all-night launderette



Oh this line is the flat horizon


And you are the shape on the left


Oh this line is the flat horizon


And this is the sun in the sky


Oh this line is the flat horizon


And makes the great divide


Between heaven and angels


And earth and men

I wanna show what lies beneath the surface


In little squares of purple, green and gold


So everyone can see their own reflection


In the mirror of your soul


I wanna paint your arrogance and beauty


I wanna paint the way you laugh at me


I wanna paint the world in which I see you


Fixed for all eternity



Oh this line is the flat horizon


And you are the shape on the left


Oh this line is the flat horizon


And this is the sun in the sky


Oh this line is the flat horizon


And makes the great divide


Between heaven and angels


And earth and men

I wanna paint your portrait in bright color


I wanna paint your personality


I wanna show the world just how I see you


I wanna show the world just how I see you


You know that only I can guarantee you


Precious immortality


Precious immortality

Oh this line

Oh this line

Oh this line

Oh this line is the flat horizon


And you are the shape on the left


Oh this line is the flat horizon


And this is the sun in the sky


Oh this line is the flat horizon


And makes the great divide


Between heaven and angels


And earth and men
