Video killed the radio star, a 1920s blues
Lyrics
Verse 1
Gramophone
Dust on the horn
Needle scraping a hollow sound
Old singers buried in the ground
Forgotten
Fading
Lost in the picture show
Where did the velvet voices go
Chorus
Pictures stole the sound
Pictures stole the sound
They don't want to hear you
They just want to see you
Silence in the wire
The lens is the fire
Pictures stole the sound
Pictures stole the sound
Verse 2
Black ink
White light
Shadows moving on a silver wall
Watch the mighty empire fall
Pretty faces
Empty spaces
No one listens to the song
The movie man did you wrong
So wrong
Gone
Chorus
Pictures stole the sound
Pictures stole the sound
They don't want to hear you
They just want to see you
Silence in the wire
The lens is the fire
Pictures stole the sound
Pictures stole the sound
Bridge
Cut the cable
Turn the table
Close your eyes
I told you
I told you
I told you
The airwaves are ghosts now
Chorus
Pictures stole the sound
Pictures stole the sound
They don't want to hear you
They just want to see you
Silence in the wire
The lens is the fire
Pictures stole the sound
Pictures stole the sound
Outro
Static in the attic
Just static
Only static
Goodnight
Goodnight
Goodnight
