Well Shourtcuts can…
F#
Well dust off your thinking caps
B7
Solar powered plastic plants
F#
Pretty pictures of things we ate
B7
We are only what we hate
C#7
But in the long run we have found
B7
Silent films are full of sound
F# C#7
Inaudibly free
F#
Slow down everyone
Bb
You’re moving too fast
B
Frames can’t catch you when
G#
You’re moving like that
F#
Inaudible melodies
Bb
Of narrational strategies
B
Unobtrusive tones
G#
Help to notice nothing but the zone
F#
Of visual relevancy
Bb
Frame-lines tell me what to see
B
Chopping like an axe
G#
So maybe Eisenstein should just relax
F#
Slow down everyone
Bb
You’re moving too fast
B
Frames can’t catch you when
G#
You’re moving like that

F#
Well Plato’s cave is full of freaks
Bb
Demanding refunds for the things they’ve seen
B
I wish they could believe
G# G
In all the things that never made the screen
F#
And just slow down everyone
Bb
You’re moving too fast
B
Frames can’t catch you when
G#
You’re moving like that
F#
Slow down everyone
Bb
You’re moving too fast
B
Frames can’t catch you when
G#
You’re moving like that
Move into
