Chorus

Meet James Ensor

Belgium's famous painter

Dig him up and shake his hand

Appreciate the man

Verse 1

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

Chorus

To meet James Ensor

Belgium's famous painter

Raise a glass and sit and stare

Understand the man

Verse 2

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

Chorus

Meet James Ensor

Meet James Ensor

Belgium's famous painter

Dig him up and shake his hand

Appreciate the man
