Jeff Wall
Jeffrey "Jeff" Wall, OC, RSA (born September 29, 1946) is a Canadian artist best known for his large-scale back-lit cibachrome photographs and art history writing. Wall has been a key figure in Vancouver's art scene since the early-1970s. Early in his career, he helped define the Vancouver School and he has published essays on the work of his colleagues and fellow Vancouverites Rodney Graham, Ken Lum and Ian Wallace. His photographic tableaux often take Vancouver's mixture of natural beauty, urban decay and postmodern and industrial featurelessness as their backdrop.
Career
Wall received his MA from the University of British Columbia in 1970, with a thesis titled Berlin Dada and the Notion of Context. That same year, Wall stopped making art. With his English wife, Jeannette, whom he had met as a student in Vancouver, and their two young sons, he moved to London to do postgraduate work at the Courtauld Institute from 1970–73, where he studied with Manet expert T.J. Clark. Wall was assistant professor at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design (1974–75), associate professor at Simon Fraser University (1976–87), taught for many years at the University of British Columbia and lectured at European Graduate School. He has published essays on Dan Graham, Rodney Graham, Roy Arden, Ken Lum, Stephan Balkenhol, On Kawara, and other contemporary artists.

Famous quotes by Jeff Wall:
"It's not a glamorous project."
"The staff did a fantastic job of getting everybody out. We did a primary search and a secondary search, as a precaution, but the building was empty,"
"The first units [to arrive] put a line down there and put it out,"
"It's the chemistry for one. They just really get along well with each other, and then the other thing is that certainly we've got a variety of players so it's different kinds of skills."

Jeff Wall Interview: Pictures Like Poems
Discover what inspires and motivates one of the modern masters of photography, Canadian Jeff Wall, who here discusses a selection of his impressive photographs and their often meticulous compositions. “The camera creates such a beautiful illusion, an illusion so similar to what we see with our eyes, it seems as though we’re looking through the surface.” To be observant is key to Jeff Wall. Picture making of any kind – from photography to sculpturing – expresses an acceptance of the way things are and appear: “I love the appearance of a tree or a face or a sidewalk… I get enjoyment just from seeing them.” Wall’s photographs are often made from something as abstract as an occurrence – or the absence of an occurrence – and when there is no explanatory text to guide you, you have to be sens...

Photographers in Focus: Jeff Wall
“The only way to continue in the spirit of the avant-garde is to experiment with your relation to tradition,” Vancouver-born photographer Jeff Wall once said about his early work. Wall, who is best known for his suspense-filled reconstructions of quotidian life, came to photography as an art historian in the 1970s. Since then his images have referenced many, seemingly disparate, things such as nineteenth-century painting, commercial advertising and street photography. The Canadian artist’s work subverts the classic role of photography in a process he calls “near-documentary,” which embraces location-staging and digital manipulation. One of his most famous works, Mimic (1982), is a recreation of a racial incident that the artist witnessed on the streets of Vancouver, but did not capture at...

In the Studio: Jeff Wall | White Cube
Jeff Wall discusses his Vancouver studio and its influence on his work. Wall talks about how, in the 70s and 80s, he used commercial labs – albeit unsatisfactorily – to develop his films, and the logical progression from this to the creation his own laboratory within the studio. Wall discusses the techniques of his photography and his desire to make his pictures seem like 'eyesight', rather than something that is better or altered from what we see. He also talks about digital printing methods, as opposed to chemical printing, and how this has changed his work. Find out more on https://whitecube.com. #WhiteCube #JeffWall #InTheStudio

This oral history was filmed by Jonas Spriestersbach in December 2022 at Jeff Wall’s studio in Vancouver. It is part of the CCA project The Lives of Documents—Photography as Project, an open reflection on how past and contemporary image-making practices serve as critical tools to read our built environment and design today’s world.

The show was on view from April 30 through July 26, 2019: http://on.gagosian.com/6BK0sf0 From his pioneering use in the 1970s of backlit color transparencies—a medium then synonymous with advertising—to his intricately constructed scenes of enigmatic incidents from daily life, literature, and film, Wall has expanded the definition of the photograph, both as object and illusion. ___________ Artwork © Jeff Wall; video: Pushpin Films; "Jeff Wall: The Space of Photography," Gagosian, West 21st Street, New York, April 30–July 26, 2019

Jeff Wall Interview: We are all Actors
An enjoyable and philosophical conversation between the pioneering Canadian photographer Jeff Wall and Belgian Wall expert Thierry de Duve about how Wall works with people, places and variations of beauty. “The most wonderful place to be in art is to be on the outside, being the spectator, enjoying the art and not worrying about how it was made. Having an experience of it, taking that experience into your own life somehow – and making it your own.” Wall comments on the current need to go “behind the scenes” and challenges his audiences to create the narrative of the photographs themselves. He builds exact replicas of streets, houses, rooms and places people in them, leaving the viewer with nothing more than a real moment in time of which only they can decide the outcome. “Acting is inher...

Jeff Wall: An Impossible Photograph | Art21 "Extended Play"
Episode #248: In his Vancouver studio, artist Jeff Wall reluctantly discusses why and how he created his 2014 photograph "Changing Room". Upon close examination viewers will realize that the perspective they're seeing is that of the mirror's—an impossible angle to capture. "The impossibility of seeing it was one of the triggers for it becoming interesting," says Wall, who often creates replicas of places and scenes that he's experienced or imagined before deploying the camera to capture the shot. By not immediately revealing what the woman is doing or how he made the image, Wall is encouraging viewers to examine the work closely and draw their own conclusions. "What I've told you is something that if you pay attention to that picture and get involved in it, it will come to you," he says....

Discover what inspires and motivates one of the modern masters of photography, Canadian Jeff Wall, who here discusses a selection of his impressive photographs and their often meticulous compositions.
“The camera creates such a beautiful illusion, an illusion so similar to what we see with our eyes, it seems as though we’re looking through the surface.” To be observant is key to Jeff Wall. Picture making of any kind – from photography to sculpturing – expresses an acceptance of the way things are and appear: “I love the appearance of a tree or a face or a sidewalk… I get enjoyment just from seeing them.”
Wall’s photographs are often made from something as abstract as an occurrence – or the absence of an occurrence – and when there is no explanatory text to guide you, you have to be sensitive to what you’re looking at and figure out the story for yourself. Like in poetry, the subject and its value has to come through to you by means of what it makes you feel: “Take away the verbal description, you get into the pure picture – and then you have to relate to it as a poem.”
One part of Wall’s pictures is traditional photomontages, where one previews in the mind’s eye what a place would potentially look like in a picture. The other part is what he calls ‘near-documentary photographs’, which resemble snapshots but are not. Creating these is a laborious process where a scene sometimes – and always out of necessity – has to be completely reconstructed and staged, often from several pictures. This act of composition and construction is of utmost interest to Wall, who is intrigued by the playful nature of ‘truth’ in photography: “A very accurate replica of a place itself has a documentary quality.”
Jeff Wall (b. 1946) is a Canadian photographer based in Vancouver. In the 1970s he began to produce and exhibit large-scale transparent photographs mounted on light boxes, which became his first artistic hallmark. He holds a MA in art history from University of British Columbia and the Courtauld Institute in London. His work has been exhibited in numerous international exhibitions, including Tate Modern in London, The Art Institute of Chicago, the San Francisco Museum of Art, National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne, the Museo Tamayo in Mexico City, Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, Kunsthaus Bregenz and MoMA in New York. Wall is the recipient of numerous prizes, including the Erna and Victor Hasselblad Foundation International Award in Photography (2002) and the Audian Prize for Lifetime Achievement in the Visual Arts (2008). Moreover, he was named Officer of the Order of Canada in 2007.
Jeff Wall was interviewed by Marc-Christoph Wagner at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Humlebæk in March 2015 in connection to the exhibition ‘Jeff Wall: Tableaux Pictures Photographs – Works from 1996-2013’. All the pictures featured in the video can be found in the publication of the same title.
The three pictures discussed in depth in the video are ‘Concreteball’ (2002), ‘Overpass’ (2001) and ‘In Front of a Nightclub’ (2006), all by Jeff Wall.

“The only way to continue in the spirit of the avant-garde is to experiment with your relation to tradition,” Vancouver-born photographer Jeff Wall once said about his early work. Wall, who is best known for his suspense-filled reconstructions of quotidian life, came to photography as an art historian in the 1970s. Since then his images have referenced many, seemingly disparate, things such as nineteenth-century painting, commercial advertising and street photography.
The Canadian artist’s work subverts the classic role of photography in a process he calls “near-documentary,” which embraces location-staging and digital manipulation. One of his most famous works, Mimic (1982), is a recreation of a racial incident that the artist witnessed on the streets of Vancouver, but did not capture at the time. The image has all the drama and spontaneity of street photography, but constructed with the exacting precision of a film set. This mix between artifice and truth makes viewers question the role of photography as both an art form and a documentary device.
Picture for Women (1979), another of Wall's enduring pieces, shows a woman's looking out into the distance, and is a conceptual take on Manet’s Un bar aux Folies Bergère, a mirrored scene where a barmaid stares despondently out from the canvas. Wall’s multilayered work not only considers the oppressive nature of the male gaze, but also reflects on the act of taking a picture as he places himself and the camera within the frame.
Whether it’s an image of Bedouin olive pickers sleeping on a farm, a homeless woman under a freeway, or Russians rising from the dead during the Afghanistan war, Wall does not rely on being at the right place at the right time. Every picture he creates is deliberate, contextual and bursting with narrative—turning photography into the painting of our times.

This oral history was filmed by Jonas Spriestersbach in December 2022 at Jeff Wall’s studio in Vancouver. It is part of the CCA project The Lives of Documents—Photography as Project, an open reflection on how past and contemporary image-making practices serve as critical tools to read our built environment and design today’s world. Featuring a series of publications by Jeff Wall and works commissioned by the CCA.
Strongly influenced by Conceptual Art, Jeff Wall (b.1946, Vancouver, Canada – lives and works in Vancouver, Canada) began his artistic career by drawing and painting. From 1970 to 1973, he did postgraduate research at the Courtauld Institute of Art in London, where he studied philosophy, critical theory, and art history. He began seriously engaging with photography upon his return to Vancouver. Printed in large-scale back-lit cibachrome, his images carefully stages everyday scenes and people against the backdrop of Vancouver’s decaying industrial neighbourhoods and natural splendor, leading critics to describe his approach as cinematographic.

An enjoyable and philosophical conversation between the pioneering Canadian photographer Jeff Wall and Belgian Wall expert Thierry de Duve about how Wall works with people, places and variations of beauty.
“The most wonderful place to be in art is to be on the outside, being the spectator, enjoying the art and not worrying about how it was made. Having an experience of it, taking that experience into your own life somehow – and making it your own.” Wall comments on the current need to go “behind the scenes” and challenges his audiences to create the narrative of the photographs themselves. He builds exact replicas of streets, houses, rooms and places people in them, leaving the viewer with nothing more than a real moment in time of which only they can decide the outcome.
“Acting is inherent in being.” When he works with people, Wall makes them repeat the same actions in the same way, over and over. After a while the repetition makes it less of a performance: “They’re not really performing anymore. It’s a kind of behavior that emerges.”
Jeff Wall (b. 1946) is a Canadian photographer based in Vancouver. In the 1970s he began to produce and exhibit large-scale transparent photographs mounted on light boxes, which became his first artistic hallmark. He holds a MA in art history from University of British Columbia and the Courtauld Institute in London. His work has been exhibited in numerous international exhibitions, including Tate Modern in London, Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, Kunsthaus Bregenz and MoMA in New York. Wall is the recipient of numerous prizes, including the Erna and Victor Hasselblad Foundation International Award in Photography (2002) and the Audian Prize for Lifetime Achievement in the Visual Arts (2008).
Thierry de Duve (b. 1944) is a Belgian professor of modern art theory and contemporary art theory. He has been a visiting professor at Sorbonne, University of Lille III, MIT and Johns Hopkins University. Among many books, he has published works on Marcel Duchamp, Édouard Manet and Jeff Wall.
Jeff Wall was interviewed by Thierry de Duve at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Humlebæk in March 2015 in connection to the exhibition ‘Jeff Wall: Tableaux Pictures Photographs – Works from 1996-2013’.

Episode #248: In his Vancouver studio, artist Jeff Wall reluctantly discusses why and how he created his 2014 photograph "Changing Room". Upon close examination viewers will realize that the perspective they're seeing is that of the mirror's—an impossible angle to capture. "The impossibility of seeing it was one of the triggers for it becoming interesting," says Wall, who often creates replicas of places and scenes that he's experienced or imagined before deploying the camera to capture the shot.
By not immediately revealing what the woman is doing or how he made the image, Wall is encouraging viewers to examine the work closely and draw their own conclusions. "What I've told you is something that if you pay attention to that picture and get involved in it, it will come to you," he says. "And when it comes to you it will be exciting."
Attentive to the accidental encounters that can inspire an image, Jeff Wall recreates flashes of inspiration obtained from sources as varied as personal recollections to something noticed on the street, to daydreams, and encounters with paintings or photographs. With an idea in mind, Wall goes to exacting lengths to produce the picture, which may include constructing a scene from scratch, factoring in the position of the sun over several weeks, and improvisational rehearsals with performers. Orchestrating his compositions with the creative liberties that a painter would take, the curious magic and discipline of Wall's work is that it all takes place in a state of photographic realism where every action, object, and condition is simultaneously artificial and entirely natural. Often printed on the grand scale of a history painting—exhibited either as backlit lightboxes akin to advertising displays or as crisp ink jet and silver gelatin prints—Wall's works reveal their poetic potential through portraying empathetic characters, picturing impossible vantage points, and capturing elusive moments.

Discover what inspires and motivates one of the modern masters of photography, Canadian Jeff Wall, who here discusses a selection of his impressive photographs and their often meticulous compositions.
“The camera creates such a beautiful illusion, an illusion so similar to what we see with our eyes, it seems as though we’re looking through the surface.” To be observant is key to Jeff Wall. Picture making of any kind – from photography to sculpturing – expresses an acceptance of the way things are and appear: “I love the appearance of a tree or a face or a sidewalk… I get enjoyment just from seeing them.”
Wall’s photographs are often made from something as abstract as an occurrence – or the absence of an occurrence – and when there is no explanatory text to guide you, you have to be sensitive to what you’re looking at and figure out the story for yourself. Like in poetry, the subject and its value has to come through to you by means of what it makes you feel: “Take away the verbal description, you get into the pure picture – and then you have to relate to it as a poem.”
One part of Wall’s pictures is traditional photomontages, where one previews in the mind’s eye what a place would potentially look like in a picture. The other part is what he calls ‘near-documentary photographs’, which resemble snapshots but are not. Creating these is a laborious process where a scene sometimes – and always out of necessity – has to be completely reconstructed and staged, often from several pictures. This act of composition and construction is of utmost interest to Wall, who is intrigued by the playful nature of ‘truth’ in photography: “A very accurate replica of a place itself has a documentary quality.”
Jeff Wall (b. 1946) is a Canadian photographer based in Vancouver. In the 1970s he began to produce and exhibit large-scale transparent photographs mounted on light boxes, which became his first artistic hallmark. He holds a MA in art history from University of British Columbia and the Courtauld Institute in London. His work has been exhibited in numerous international exhibitions, including Tate Modern in London, The Art Institute of Chicago, the San Francisco Museum of Art, National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne, the Museo Tamayo in Mexico City, Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, Kunsthaus Bregenz and MoMA in New York. Wall is the recipient of numerous prizes, including the Erna and Victor Hasselblad Foundation International Award in Photography (2002) and the Audian Prize for Lifetime Achievement in the Visual Arts (2008). Moreover, he was named Officer of the Order of Canada in 2007.
Jeff Wall was interviewed by Marc-Christoph Wagner at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Humlebæk in March 2015 in connection to the exhibition ‘Jeff Wall: Tableaux Pictures Photographs – Works from 1996-2013’. All the pictures featured in the video can be found in the publication of the same title.
The three pictures discussed in depth in the video are ‘Concreteball’ (2002), ‘Overpass’ (2001) and ‘In Front of a Nightclub’ (2006), all by Jeff Wall.

“The only way to continue in the spirit of the avant-garde is to experiment with your relation to tradition,” Vancouver-born photographer Jeff Wall once said about his early work. Wall, who is best known for his suspense-filled reconstructions of quotidian life, came to photography as an art historian in the 1970s. Since then his images have referenced many, seemingly disparate, things such as nineteenth-century painting, commercial advertising and street photography.
The Canadian artist’s work subverts the classic role of photography in a process he calls “near-documentary,” which embraces location-staging and digital manipulation. One of his most famous works, Mimic (1982), is a recreation of a racial incident that the artist witnessed on the streets of Vancouver, but did not capture at the time. The image has all the drama and spontaneity of street photography, but constructed with the exacting precision of a film set. This mix between artifice and truth makes viewers question the role of photography as both an art form and a documentary device.
Picture for Women (1979), another of Wall's enduring pieces, shows a woman's looking out into the distance, and is a conceptual take on Manet’s Un bar aux Folies Bergère, a mirrored scene where a barmaid stares despondently out from the canvas. Wall’s multilayered work not only considers the oppressive nature of the male gaze, but also reflects on the act of taking a picture as he places himself and the camera within the frame.
Whether it’s an image of Bedouin olive pickers sleeping on a farm, a homeless woman under a freeway, or Russians rising from the dead during the Afghanistan war, Wall does not rely on being at the right place at the right time. Every picture he creates is deliberate, contextual and bursting with narrative—turning photography into the painting of our times.

Attentive to the accidental encounters that can inspire an image, Jeff Wall recreates flashes of inspiration obtained from sources as varied as personal recollections to something noticed on the street, to daydreams, and encounters with paintings or photographs. With an idea in mind, Wall goes to exacting lengths to produce the picture, which may include constructing a scene from scratch, factoring in the position of the sun over several weeks, and improvisational rehearsals with performers. Wall’s pictures include both fantastical scenes and vernacular images of people on the margins of society or in moments of exchange and quiet contemplation.

Jeff Wall discusses his Vancouver studio and its influence on his work. Wall talks about how, in the 70s and 80s, he used commercial labs – albeit unsatisfactorily – to develop his films, and the logical progression from this to the creation his own laboratory within the studio.
Wall discusses the techniques of his photography and his desire to make his pictures seem like 'eyesight', rather than something that is better or altered from what we see. He also talks about digital printing methods, as opposed to chemical printing, and how this has changed his work.

This oral history was filmed by Jonas Spriestersbach in December 2022 at Jeff Wall’s studio in Vancouver. It is part of the CCA project The Lives of Documents—Photography as Project, an open reflection on how past and contemporary image-making practices serve as critical tools to read our built environment and design today’s world. Featuring a series of publications by Jeff Wall and works commissioned by the CCA.
Strongly influenced by Conceptual Art, Jeff Wall (b.1946, Vancouver, Canada – lives and works in Vancouver, Canada) began his artistic career by drawing and painting. From 1970 to 1973, he did postgraduate research at the Courtauld Institute of Art in London, where he studied philosophy, critical theory, and art history. He began seriously engaging with photography upon his return to Vancouver. Printed in large-scale back-lit cibachrome, his images carefully stages everyday scenes and people against the backdrop of Vancouver’s decaying industrial neighbourhoods and natural splendor, leading critics to describe his approach as cinematographic.

Join Jeff Wall on a tour of his first exhibition with the gallery at Gagosian, West 21st Street, New York. The show was on view from April 30 through July 26, 2019: http://on.gagosian.com/6BK0sf0
From his pioneering use in the 1970s of backlit color transparencies—a medium then synonymous with advertising—to his intricately constructed scenes of enigmatic incidents from daily life, literature, and film, Wall has expanded the definition of the photograph, both as object and illusion.

An enjoyable and philosophical conversation between the pioneering Canadian photographer Jeff Wall and Belgian Wall expert Thierry de Duve about how Wall works with people, places and variations of beauty.
“The most wonderful place to be in art is to be on the outside, being the spectator, enjoying the art and not worrying about how it was made. Having an experience of it, taking that experience into your own life somehow – and making it your own.” Wall comments on the current need to go “behind the scenes” and challenges his audiences to create the narrative of the photographs themselves. He builds exact replicas of streets, houses, rooms and places people in them, leaving the viewer with nothing more than a real moment in time of which only they can decide the outcome.
“Acting is inherent in being.” When he works with people, Wall makes them repeat the same actions in the same way, over and over. After a while the repetition makes it less of a performance: “They’re not really performing anymore. It’s a kind of behavior that emerges.”
Jeff Wall (b. 1946) is a Canadian photographer based in Vancouver. In the 1970s he began to produce and exhibit large-scale transparent photographs mounted on light boxes, which became his first artistic hallmark. He holds a MA in art history from University of British Columbia and the Courtauld Institute in London. His work has been exhibited in numerous international exhibitions, including Tate Modern in London, Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, Kunsthaus Bregenz and MoMA in New York. Wall is the recipient of numerous prizes, including the Erna and Victor Hasselblad Foundation International Award in Photography (2002) and the Audian Prize for Lifetime Achievement in the Visual Arts (2008).
Thierry de Duve (b. 1944) is a Belgian professor of modern art theory and contemporary art theory. He has been a visiting professor at Sorbonne, University of Lille III, MIT and Johns Hopkins University. Among many books, he has published works on Marcel Duchamp, Édouard Manet and Jeff Wall.
Jeff Wall was interviewed by Thierry de Duve at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Humlebæk in March 2015 in connection to the exhibition ‘Jeff Wall: Tableaux Pictures Photographs – Works from 1996-2013’.

“Pictures, by nature, suspend narrative. …I see the viewer as a writer: the viewer narrates. People are telling themselves stories, and the stories connect to them personally, which is why the work means something to them. We can relate to these things.” —#JeffWall

Episode #248: In his Vancouver studio, artist Jeff Wall reluctantly discusses why and how he created his 2014 photograph "Changing Room". Upon close examination viewers will realize that the perspective they're seeing is that of the mirror's—an impossible angle to capture. "The impossibility of seeing it was one of the triggers for it becoming interesting," says Wall, who often creates replicas of places and scenes that he's experienced or imagined before deploying the camera to capture the shot.
By not immediately revealing what the woman is doing or how he made the image, Wall is encouraging viewers to examine the work closely and draw their own conclusions. "What I've told you is something that if you pay attention to that picture and get involved in it, it will come to you," he says. "And when it comes to you it will be exciting."
Attentive to the accidental encounters that can inspire an image, Jeff Wall recreates flashes of inspiration obtained from sources as varied as personal recollections to something noticed on the street, to daydreams, and encounters with paintings or photographs. With an idea in mind, Wall goes to exacting lengths to produce the picture, which may include constructing a scene from scratch, factoring in the position of the sun over several weeks, and improvisational rehearsals with performers. Orchestrating his compositions with the creative liberties that a painter would take, the curious magic and discipline of Wall's work is that it all takes place in a state of photographic realism where every action, object, and condition is simultaneously artificial and entirely natural. Often printed on the grand scale of a history painting—exhibited either as backlit lightboxes akin to advertising displays or as crisp ink jet and silver gelatin prints—Wall's works reveal their poetic potential through portraying empathetic characters, picturing impossible vantage points, and capturing elusive moments.

Jeff Wall
Jeffrey "Jeff" Wall, OC, RSA (born September 29, 1946) is a Canadian artist best known for his large-scale back-lit cibachrome photographs and art history writing. Wall has been a key figure in Vancouver's art scene since the early-1970s. Early in his career, he helped define the Vancouver School and he has published essays on the work of his colleagues and fellow Vancouverites Rodney Graham, Ken Lum and Ian Wallace. His photographic tableaux often take Vancouver's mixture of natural beauty, urban decay and postmodern and industrial featurelessness as their backdrop.
Career
Wall received his MA from the University of British Columbia in 1970, with a thesis titled Berlin Dada and the Notion of Context. That same year, Wall stopped making art. With his English wife, Jeannette, whom he had met as a student in Vancouver, and their two young sons, he moved to London to do postgraduate work at the Courtauld Institute from 1970–73, where he studied with Manet expert T.J. Clark. Wall was assistant professor at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design (1974–75), associate professor at Simon Fraser University (1976–87), taught for many years at the University of British Columbia and lectured at European Graduate School. He has published essays on Dan Graham, Rodney Graham, Roy Arden, Ken Lum, Stephan Balkenhol, On Kawara, and other contemporary artists.

Yes I'm lonely wanna die
Yes I'm lonely wanna die
If I ain't dead already
Ooh girl you know the reason why.
In the morning wanna die
In the evening wanna die
If I ain't dead already
Ooh girl you know the reason why.
My mother was of the sky
My father was of the earth
But I am of the universe
And you know what it's worth
I'm lonely wanna die
If I ain't dead already
Ooh girl you know the reason why.
The eagle picks my eye
The worm he licks my bone
I feel so suicidal
Just like Dylan's Mr. Jones
Lonely wanna die
If I ain't dead already
Ooh girl you know the reason why.
Black cloud crossed my mind
Blue mist round my soul
Feel so suicidal
Even hate my rock and roll
Wanna die yeah wanna die
If I ain't dead already
