All the Rowboats |
| All the rowboats |
| In the paintings |
| They keep trying to row away |
| And the captains' |
| Worried faces |
| Stay contorted and staring at the waves |
| They’ll keep hanging |
| In their gold frames |
| For forever, forever and a day |
| All the rowboats |
| In the oil paintings |
| They keep trying to row away, row away |
| Hear them whispering |
| French and German |
| Dutch, Italian, and Latin |
| When no one’s looking |
| I catch a sculpture |
| Marble, gold, and soft as satin |
| But the most special |
| Are the most lonely |
| God, I pity the violins |
| In glass coffins |
| They keep coughing |
| They’ve forgotten, forgotten how to sing, how to sing |
| La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la |
| How… |
| First there’s lights out |
| Then there’s lock-up |
| Masterpieces serving maximum sentences |
| It’s their own fault |
| For being timeless |
| There’s a price you pay |
| And a consequence |
| All the galleries |
| The museums |
| Here’s your ticket, welcome to the tombs |
| They’re just public |
| Mausoleums |
| The living dead fill every room |
| But the most special |
| Are the most lonely |
| God, I pity the violins |
| In glass coffins |
| They keep coughing |
| They’ve forgotten, forgotten how to sing |
| They will hang there |
| In their gold frames |
| For forever, forever and a day |
| All the rowboats |
| In the oil paintings |
| They keep trying to row away, row away |
| First there’s lights out |
| Then there’s lock-up |
| Masterpieces serving maximum sentences |
| It’s their own fault |
| For being timeless |
| There’s a price you pay |
| And a consequence |
| All the galleries |
| The museums |
| They will stay there forever and a day |
| All the rowboats |
| In the oil paintings |
| They keep trying to row away, row away |
| All the rowboats |
| In the oil paintings |
| They keep trying to row away, row away |
