Serious Music Songtext
von Daryl Hall & John Oates

To play to getting rich and die broke is wrong
If you write a song for God, will he sing along?
The roles of robot symphonies read on
Is that the way that you want it played?

(Manuscripted memories) I can breathe
(Sound with no electricity)
I can see concentration lines on the face of serious music
(Manuscripted memories) oh, 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
Wish I was there the night you played it

(Manuscripted memories)
(Sound with no electricity)
Oh, can′t you see concentration lines on the face of serious music
(Manuscripted memories) don't talk age
(Sound with no electricity)
Oh, can't you see concentration lines on the face of serious music

I can see (manuscripted memories)
I can hear (sound with no electricity)
Concentration lines on the face of serious music
I can see (manuscripted memories)
I can hear (sound with no electricity)
Concentration lines on the face of serious music
