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 maybe twice the bear   That I thought I was      Where have you been,   And what have you done?   I've been under the ground   Eating 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      Or 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   But I turned around suddenly,   Turned around squinting   And saw   That it was headlights   And then the truth, the truth was unbearable   Oh, and imminent   Bearing down on these two shadow animals      Caught painting a dotted line   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   Eating in 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
