Moving Picuters Silent Films Songtext

Oh wake me please when this is over Oh when the ice is melted away And the hunger returns I will feel the same but older And I'll be twice the man that I thought I was Where have you been? And what have you done? I've been under the ground Reading prayers from this old book I found Under the ground Saving it up And spending it all On moving pictures Silent films Moving pictures Silent films Oh is this the dream I've been saving? Oh where the heart beats slower and slower To almost nothing Almost nothing Almost nothing I took care for longer (?) At least something beautiful Out there in the spotlight But turned around softly Turned around squinting It's all they heard was headlights (?) And then the truth The truth was unbearable Oh and iminent Bearing down on these two shadowed animals Called painting a dotted line Called painting a dotted line Where have you been? And what have you done? I've been under the ground Reading prayers from this old book I found Under the ground Saving it up And spending it all On moving pictures Silent films Moving pictures Silent films
