Great Lake Swimmers - Moving Pictures Silent Films lyrics

Oh wake me please when this is over Oh when the ice is melted away And the hunger returns I will be the same but older And may be twice the bear 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 it for love or At least something beautiful Out there in the spotlight I turned around suddenly Turned around squinting And saw that it was headlights And then the truth The truth was unbearable Oh and iminent Bearing down on these two shadowed animals Caught painting a dotted line Caught 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
