The House of Invention

Here is a song about a painter you might know.
He is The Copper Thunderbird Norval Morrisseau.
He’s floating by high in the sky in a canoe.
I hope you feel the colors' healing spell on you.
A man of conviction
On a journey, on a mission,
To find his X-ray vision,
In the house of invention.
And in the gallery heads are turning back and forth.
Somebody called him «the Picasso of the north».
And when I wander cloudy on a gloomy day
He’ll cheer me up like Debussy or Dubuffet
A man of conviction
On a journey, on a mission,
To find his X-ray vision,
In the house of invention.
This is a song about a painter you might know.
He is The Copper Thunderbird Norval Morrisseau!
