you open your mouth and all i hear are pianos playing   i feel like we're in some silent film   i look at your lips but i still don't know just what you're saying   the titles are too far away to read      i take the train back home   you're there at the station to pick me up   and we will embrace while the steam starts rising   i don't understand why this is not enough      but we're being replaced by something much more colorful   and we will soon be history   we're being replaced by something much more beautiful   this will all but disappear      so let's be sure to leave them something to remember us by   when we're dead and gone   and maybe they'll laugh and say we were such simple people   no, i don't think that should be wrong      but we're being replaced by something much more colorful   and we will soon be history   we're being replaced by something much more beautiful   this will all but disappear      take some time to remember   take the time to recall
