Song Lyrics:

I'd see them in the morning
On my way in to work
As they switched out the marquee
Some old flick to some indie full of quirks
The projectionist was married to
The girl in the ticket booth
And the boy who swept the aisles
Had a problem with the truth

Chorus
Still they all put their troubles away
made 'em seem small by the end of the matinee.

One day the owner came in
Said "I haven't made a dime all year
"Next month we'll show Pride and Prejudice
"That's the last movie we'll show here"

Chorus

Bridge
Last show'd end at 1am
Then home they'd go then back again tomorrow
30 more tomorrows

The Rialto stands there empty now
The marquee it only says "closed"
The bookstore next door's closing too
And the place with the vintage clothes.
If you need a new transmission
There's still Vinnie's down the block
But it's lonely here at the post office now
Weeds grow up through cracks in the walk
The usher kid he tells me
Place will spring to life again soon
But I know he's only hoping
He won't have to move halfway to the moon

To find work
Like the projectionist
And his wife
And half this town

Chorus
