Stone Face

from Notes from the Ground by Dino Soldo

lyrics

A child in vaudeville
with larger boots to fill
answered the call of the west
with a flat hat and vest

but the day he closed his blinds
ten years in his prime
was the day they put cheap words in his mouth
too artless too glib

He was a man against the machine
for-telling us how we feel
was it all just too real for him
our silent movie star

do you want to sail away on a steamboat
save the day for the underdog
and never say a word to ruin the moment


do you want to see the way you are weightless
when it don't work the way it should
let it all fall around you with a stone face


he was called the human mop
broke his neck broke his heart for us
he's gone i'll never laugh again
our silent movie star

do you want to sail away on a steamboat
save the day for the underdog
and never say a word to ruin the moment


do you want to see the way you are weightless
when it don't work the way it should
let it all fall around you with a stone face
