[00:07.600]So long to silent movies
[00:10.761]To quiet dances on a screen
[00:18.800]So long to burning slowly
[00:22.492]Smelling sweat and kerosene
[00:29.842]And all the actors on the stage are rolling cigarettes
[00:34.608]And whispering so low
[00:42.370]Call my parents up, tell them I’m not coming home
[00:54.437]So long to silent movies
[00:57.550]To waking early, staying late
[01:06.377]I think I’ll head on down to Reno
[01:09.268]Try my hand at real-estate
[01:16.982]And I’ll fix up a Cadillac and find a girl who likes to dance so slow
[01:29.248]Call my parents up, tell them I’m already home
[01:41.195]But I swear I’ve seen my share of black and white
[01:52.947]And I swear this screen, it never tells the story right
[02:04.649]So long to silent movies
[02:07.842]To all the talking in between
[02:16.744]Cleaning dust off of the press-box
[02:19.828]And fixing broken tape machines
[02:28.208]Wasn’t much of an actor, was I?
[02:31.102]I ain’t much of anything at all
[02:38.779]But I can’t see those marquee lights
[02:43.388]that are hanging on the wall
[02:51.423]But I swear I’ve seen my share of black and white
[03:03.234]And I swear this screen, it never tells the story right
[03:14.767]So I ain’t ever gonna talk again
[03:17.850]I ain’t ever gonna talk again
[03:20.231]No, no
[03:26.722]So I ain’t ever gonna talk again
