Brash fields crude crows
In a scary sky
In a golden frame
Roped off
Tourists guided by
Tourists talking about the madhouse
Talking about the ear
The madman hangs in fancy homes
They wouldn't let him near!
He'd piss in their fireplace!
He'd drag them through Turbulent Indigo
I think here she's referring to what is thought to be one of Vincent's final
works before his suicide
"Wheat Field with Crows stands out as one of Vincent Van Gogh's most
powerful, and most fiercely debated, paintings. The many interpretations of
this particular work are probably more varied than any other in Van Gogh's
oeuvre. Some see it as Van Gogh's "suicide note" put to canvas, while others
delve beyond a superficial overview of the subject matter and favour a more
positive approach. And some more extreme critics cast their vision even
further--beyond the canvas and the brushstrokes--in order to translate the
images into an entirely new language of the subliminal."
