Woman is shape, breath, form

Woman is bone, muscle, light

Woman is curve and shadow

Woman is...

Yes, I discovered her — the name is Lempicka. She had been completely forgotten. I found a whole cache of these canvases in a storage vault in Paris. Amazing representation of that era!

And time, merciless beast

Keeps speeding by

So decadent! So Deco!

Unceasing, making us dizzy

Spin and velocity, grip the wheel tight

But there's something about this work

Stop

It reaches out

Just stop

It grabs you

Catch one moment!

The women are like machines! The machines are like women!

I bid!

Sold for $2.3 million

For $12.6 million

$25 million!

Spinning so fast

The world rushes by, a giant machine

Can you make the world stop?

Just for a moment?

There, your dark eyes, there your smile

Your laugh, your stride, your light

Your color, your pulse

Your sweat, your speed

Your muscle, your flesh

Your skin, your bone

Your shadow, your breath

Your blood, your mouth

Your cry shattered

Your dark eyes, there your smile

Your laugh, your stride, your light

Your color, your pulse

Your sweat, your speed

Your muscle, your flesh

Your skin, your bone

Your shadow, your breath

Your blood, your mouth

Your cry shattered

Your dark eyes, there your smile

Your laugh, your stride, your light

The world spins

We live, we die

How can we know?

We never know what will survive (Revolution!)

When everything shatters

What matters?

You and I

The world spins, hold on tight

Our time!

The world never stops its spin (Revolution!)

Our time!

The stars never stop their shine (Hold on tight)

You and I

What will we do?

(Now it's) Our time!

Our time

We do not control the world

Our time

We control one flat rectangle of canvas

At a time
