"All the Rowboats" Lyrics:


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 touch a sculpture
Marble, cold 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
Master pieces 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...

I absoloutly love Regina Spektor, she has such an amazing voice! This song makes me think of a Tim Burton stylized film; she would sound perfect on one of his films soundtracks.

[angeljesso]

Makes you think a little different when you're in a muesum, hmm? Violins that are behind glass and never played...I agree, it's a pity

It's just SO good, I am in awe everytime I stumble down this Regina road. Blown away, every time...like an angel on Earth!

[Travis Corblin]

She's great! But what a horrible video. The director sucks.

[Abby Hoover]

She is so talented and has an amazing voice. I love her so much! I like that she doesn't try to hard, and isn't always in the public for something stupid. She is beautiful, and I admire her as a person, singer, and songwriter!

I love her , she beautiful , I think there is no need of speial effect, the new production is trying to sell her as a britney spears... her hands , her voice, her talent is all we need need, she's beauty but she not have to sell her face...
