Museums in Decline Songtext

von Luxury

Standing in the museum, the one between fifth and sixth
Strange to see the masterpiece
"The Persistence of Memory"
There's really nothing there at all, at all
There's really nothing there at all, at all

That portrait I thought I'd get
The one that's called "Forbidden Fruit"
Stupid name in a gilded frame
But there was something there, something good
Sometimes there's nothing there at all, at all
Sometimes there's nothing there at all, at all

The fun collapses every time
Just like life
I read in bed at night!
The fun collapses every time
But it's alright
I hear there's more to life

That booklet I thought I'd write
Our long weekend (in Newport) last June
Chateau-sur-Mer, the ocean air
Marble House, The Breakers, and you
The words were there, then they were not there, at all
The words were there, then they were not there, at all

The fun collapses every time
Just like life
I read in bed at night!
The fun collapses every time
But it's alright
I hear there's more to life

The fun collapses every time
Just like life
I read in bed at night!
The fun collapses every time
But it's alright
I read between the lines
