Written by Paul Weller
Verse 1:
Am The moving canvas prowls again Am Stalking like a midnight king F On the hunt for something Am Or someone Am You better hope someone's not you Am His pale blue eyes will set on you F And you'll meet his gaze F Am And then you'll turn to stone Am This moving canvas is well worn Am His body broken and battle-scarred Am This triumph comes at such a cost Am For every gain there's so much lostSolo Am F Am FF Upon himself he paints a scene C But the picture that you see Dm Is the one of your design C It's the one you wanna be D Just like him F Am So wild and so freeVerse 2:
Am This moving canvas is well worn Am His body broken and battle-scarred Am This triumph comes at such a cost Am For every gain there's so much lostF Upon himself he paints a dream C But the picture that you see Dm Is the one of your design C It's the one you'd really be D Ah, just like him F Am So wild and so freeVerse 3:
Am The moving canvas is with us now Am The silver surfers in the crowd Am His ju-ju eyes will set on you Am Flashing smiles he knows he's good He knows he's good He knows he's good, good He knows he's good, good He knows he's good, good He knows he's good He knows he's good
