serious music

Daryl Hall - John Oates

To play to get rich and die baroque is wrong
If you write a song for God, will he sing along?
While rows of robot symphonies read on
Is that the way that you want it played?
I can breathe
(Sound with no electricity)
I can see concentration lines on the face of serious music
I can breathe
(Sound with no electricity)
You know I can see concentration lines
On the face of serious music
You brought a bit of jazz to the concert hall
You won't hear violins at the Darkie's ball
Your rhapsody in blue will outlive us all
I wish I was there the night you played it
Oh, can't you see concentration lines
On the face of serious music
Notes on page
(Sound but no electricity)
Oh, can't you see concentration lines
On the face of serious music
Manuscripted memories, sound but no electricity
Concentration lines on the face of serious music
Manuscripted memories, sound but no electricity
Concentration lines on the face of serious music
