Don't move, don't speak
Don't blink, just leave it up to me
I got a mind and it's like a laser beam light
Don't cry, or complain
It's no use
Because it's all the same
Won't matter once I got you in my sight
You were living your life
When I came along
Never wondered if it was right or wrong
You had a nice smile and a pretty face
I unlatched my case
I flicked the switch
You heard a word
Surprised by what had just occurred
You thought to run
But something made you stay
I'm the projectionist
I lay the scene
Shine my beam on your movie screen
I got some months or years to kill
Just hold still you're gonna ruin the film
I'm a perfectionist
If I get it right
I'll wrap you up in a dream tonight
And the dream will play
As long as you can stay
What's that, you say?
Hush now, don't matter anyway
It's rude to argue while the movie plays
You moved your lips but I couldn't hear
With the soundtrack blaring in my ears
I'm sorry if I don't know what you say
If you don't move till the very end
I'll want to play the film again
If I do it will be hard to break away
I'm the projectionist
I lay the scene
Shine my beam on your movie screen
I got some months or years to kill
Just hold still you're gonna ruin the film
I'm a perfectionist
If I get it right
I'll wrap you up in a dream tonight
And the dream will play
As long as you can stay
Would it kill you to play along
Just sit there like you belong
Would it kill you to be part of my personal fantasy
Would it kill you to lie
Just let it... Spark blushing bride
It would make you interesting
Probably more than you really are
I'm the projectionist
I lay the scene
Shine my beam on your movie screen
I got some months or years to kill
Just hold still you're gonna ruin the film
I'm a perfectionist
If I get it right
I'll wrap you up in a dream tonight
And if it plays
You'll never get away
