Silent Movie

Sitting in a silent movie
Intently staring at the screen
If you watch them closely
You hear exactly what they mean

With moves ever colorful
In this world of black and white
Before intermission
The leading lady breaks down and cries

The leading man had a hand in it
You can read it in the signs
It's really no surprise
It's all right there in black and white
