When Sal's Burned Down - Dar Williams[00:00:00]

Are we the fools for being surprised[00:00:15]

That a silence could end with no sound[00:00:18]

Like the silent movie era like with snow[00:00:21]

Like when Sal's burned down[00:00:24]

Well yeah there was noise but nothing to mark the passing on[00:00:28]

Of that great unspoken chance we had found[00:00:35]

Where the night's end came well-trod and familiar[00:00:40]

Like the Charlie Chaplin walk that fades to black[00:00:46]

And there wasn't anyone trying to sell their souls[00:00:53]

They were only trying to buy them back[00:00:58]

They were only trying to buy them back[00:01:07]

Well yeah there was a Sal[00:01:16]

He walked with bulging pockets 'round town[00:01:18]

Either he was up to no good[00:01:22]

Or he just got excited watching things burn down[00:01:24]

Well I guess he got the idea [00:01:30]

If you hold a chunk of gold in your hand now[00:01:32]

For once in your life you can throw some weight around[00:01:36]

And Sal your slimeball sell-out how can we blame you[00:01:41]

We all want something to put our fingers on[00:01:47]

And you'll never know the true throne that you've lost[00:01:55]

Till the vinyl barstools are gone[00:01:59]

Till the vinyl barstools are gone[00:02:09]

If you toss around some words you might say that[00:02:43]

Sal was carrying a torch for the mob[00:02:49]

But the mob's gone too yeah the only sign of them left[00:02:56]

He is on every screen at the Multiplex and we go there no prob hey[00:03:01]

'Cause there ain't no cowboy's in this Connecticut town[00:03:07]

No not anymore no not since Sal's burned down[00:03:15]

Once you dip your tin cup down in the muse's watering hole[00:03:23]

Or pioneer a new patch of common ground[00:03:28]

Then you'd lie on your time-traveled bedroll[00:03:34]

Quite amazed at the expansive terrain[00:03:40]

And if anyone said you'd never have fame and fortune[00:03:47]

Just that bar you know you'd ride that way again[00:03:50]

I bet you'd ride that way again[00:04:01]
