Well, my name was Leonardo,
I´m known for art on canvas cloth
And I´ve been painting Mona Lisa´s
mysterious little smile of sloth
You know I, was the renaissance man
In my time, they did not understand me at all

You know the Popes did respect me
Even though I was quite über
I did tell'em "smalldeville"
´bout the lexes of Luther
You know I, was the renaissance man
In my time, they did not understand me at all

My daddy, lived in da Vinci
Ser Piero, I was his son
My mommy, she was a peasant
Cat'rina, I was her son

For decades, my brain was dashing
Pre "Cogito, Ergo Sum"
Others they came down crashing
Seeing all they haven´t done
Facing multi talent ONE

Like Keppler, proud of his planets
And Bruno, burned at the stake
Magellan, tough as a giblet
Columbus, wave in my wake

(Guitar solo on homemade watermill-driven electrified violin)

For decades, my books were lectures
Still they´re full of food for thought
Also of architecture
Sculpting, math and pets I bought
Space and time and things I tought

You know I, was the renaissance man
In my time, they did not understand me at all
You know I, was the renaissance man
In my time, they did not understand me at all

Renaissance man
THE renaissance man
THE renaissance man
THE renaissance man

You know I, was the renaissance man
In my time, they did not understand me at all
You know I, was the renaissance man
In my time, they did not understand me at all

(Reborn guitar solo)

I was renaissance man, did the renaissance tour
I was renaissance man, hear my renaissance roar
I was renaissance man
Yeah
Renaissance
