 All the rowboats in the paintings 
They keep trying to row away 
And the captains' worried faces 
Stay contorted and staring at the waves 
They'll keep hanging in their gold frames 
For forever, forever and a day 
All the rowboats in the oil paintings 
They keep trying to row away, row away 
Hear them whispering french and german 
Dutch, italian, and latin 
When no one's looking I fetch a sculpture 
Marble, gold, and soft as satin 
But the most special are the most lonely 
God, I pity the violins 
In glass coffins they keep coughing 
They've forgotten, forgotten how to sing, how to sing 
First there's lights out, then there's lock up 
Masterpieces serving maximum sentences 
It's their own fault for being timeless 
There's a price to pay and a consequence 
All the galleries, the museums 
Here's your ticket, welcome to the tombs 
They're just public mausoleums 
The living dead fill every room 
But the most special are the most lonely 
God, I pity the violins 
In glass coffins they keep coughing 
They've forgotten, forgotten how to sing 
They will stay there in their gold frames 
For forever, forever and a day 
All the rowboats in the oil paintings 
They keep trying to row away, row away 
First there's lights out, then there's lock up 
Masterpieces serving maximum sentences 
It's their own fault for being timeless 
There's a price to pay and a consequence 
All the galleries, the museums 
They will stay there forever and a day 
All the rowboats in the oil paintings 
They keep trying to row away, row away 
All the rowboats in the oil paintings 
They keep trying to row away, row away
