Making Pictures - Over the Rhine

I took a photograph

I’m making pictures in my head

I took a photograph

I’m making pictures in my head

Don’t want no one to see

These things were haunting me

Darkroom failures bound by the silence

I took a holy vow

But if someone could hold me now

I’d rediscover all that I am

I took a photograph

I’m making pictures in my head

I took a photograph

I’m making pictures in my head

Don’t want to make a scene

But the distance in between

Holy madness and blind inspiration

Take shelter in the dark

Like Muybridge throwing sparks

To rediscover all that I am

You took a photograph

I’m making pictures in my head

You took a photograph

I’m making pictures in my head

What’s to be left of me

A Kodak memory?

The kids will donate my lens to science

But nothing goes unseen

The distance in between

Where shadows lengthen all that I was

All that I

All that I am

You took a photograph

I’m making pictures

You took a photograph

I’m making pictures

I’m making pictures

La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la
