I will build a love out of pictures and words Scratched and blurred will be preserved in plastic canisters And I will lay the lovers on the cutting room floor With their bodies almost touching And with just enough room for thought. And uncertainty. A hint arose upon our memory The softest hand that brushed the weakest knee Your eyes they rest just too long upon me. Your are just a song and you will only last that long Your are just a song and you will only last that long If eisentein can do it Then I'm sure I can do it Take your best line and i'll glue it Over all your sad refrains And if its all in the edit Then there's no need to regret We'll just take the sad scenes And cut them frame for frame And we'll repeat the beginning at the end again You are just a song and you will only last that long You are jsut a song and you will only last that long You are just a song and you will only last that long You are just a song and you will only last that long You are just a name And I will say it till it means nothing again.
