lyrics

I like the ink stuck under my fingernails
I like the ink that stains all my clothes
I like the sound of rolling out fresh ink
I like the sound of a Vandercook press
I like the smell of acid on copper
I like the smell of solvents in the air
I like the feeling of pulling up the paper
I like the feeling of making prints

I like the ink in the cracks of my fingers
I like the ink that's covering my shoes
I like the touch of a fine sheet of paper
I like the touch of embossed ampersand
I like the sound of squeegee on silkscreen
I like the sound of grinding a stone
I like the feeling of pulling up the paper
I like the feeling of making prints

I like the ink that's caked onto my hands
I like the ink that appears on my face
I like the mark of an etching needle
I like the mark of a v-gouge
I like the look of deckled edges
I like the look of a fine aquatint
I like the feeling of pulling up the paper
I like the feeling of making prints
