Ars Longa Vita Brevis by The Nice Lyrics

[Prelude]

[Movement I: Awakening]
Instrumental

[Movement II: Realisation]

Ars Longa Vita Brevis
Life is too short to paint a kiss
So sing a picture, paint a song
Take it home and bang your gong
'Cause life is an ill cast comedy for fools

Ars Longa Vita Brevis
A caption to a life of bliss
A rose too beautiful to see
Jumped off the bush and spoke to me
Of life that's an ill cast comedy for fools

May I have a rose please?
My hands will get stuck to the paint
[Movement III: Acceptance "Brandenburger"]

[Movement IV: Denial]

Ars longa vita brevis
Ars longa vita brevis
Ars longa vita brevis
Ars...

Vita brevis
Vita brevis
Vita brevis
Vita brevis
