Meet James Ensor
Belgium's famous painter
Dig him up and shake his hand

Appreciate the man

Before there were junk stores

Before there was junk
He lived with his mother and the torments of Christ
The world was transformed

A crowd gathered round
Pressed against his window so they could be the first


To meet James Ensor
Belgium's famous painter
Raise a glass and sit and stare

Understand the man

He lost all his friends

He didn't need his friends
He lived with his mother and repeated himself
The world has forgotten

The world moved along
The crowd at his window went back to their homes
