Silent Movies |
| So long to silent movies |
| To quiet dances on a screen |
| So long to burning slowly |
| Smelling sweat and kerosene |
| And all the actors on the stage are rolling cigarettes |
| And whispering so low |
| Call my parents up, tell them I’m not coming home |
| So long to silent movies |
| To waking early, staying late |
| I think I’ll head on down to Reno |
| Try my hand at real-estate |
| And I’ll fix up a Cadillac and find a girl who Likes to dance so slow |
| Call my parents up, tell them I’m already home |
| But I swear I’ve seen my share of black and white |
| And I swear this screen, it nevr tells the story right |
| So long to silent movis |
| To all the talking in between |
| Cleaning dust off of the press-box |
| And fixing broken tape machines |
| Wasn’t much of an actor, was I? |
| I ain’t much of anything at all |
| But I can’t see those marquee lights |
| That are hanging on the wall |
| But I swear I’ve seen my share of black and white |
| And I swear this screen, it never tells the story right |
| So I ain’t ever gonna talk again |
| I ain’t ever gonna talk again |
| No, no |
| So I ain’t ever gonna talk again |
| I ain’t ever gonna talk again |
| No, no |
| I ain’t ever gonna talk, talk |
| I ain’t ever gonna talk, talk… |
