Museums in Decline

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] That portrait I thought I'd get The one that's called "Forbidden Fruit" Stupid name in a gilded frame There was something there There was something good Sometimes there's nothing there At all At all Sometimes there's nothing there At all At all Oh [Chorus] The fun collapses every time Just like life I read in bed at night The fun collapses every time But it's all right I hear there's more to life [Verse 3] That booklet I thought I'd write Our long weekend last June Chateau-sur-Mer and the ocean air Marble House, The Breakers, and you The words were there, then they were not there At all At all The words were there, then they were not there At all At all [Chorus] The fun collapses every time Just like life I read in bed at night The fun collapses every time But it's all right 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 all right I hear there's more to life
