Noir

In the opening

Until the curtain call

You audition me

You won't bet it all

It was like a flashing dream

Behind your scenes

Everything in black and white

Was it just a change of theme

A typecasting

Or did I fit your archetype?

I wouldn't know

And then the earth stood still

And all the sky went red

And like a foreign film

I don't know what you said

And in hypnotic scenes

I watched your silver screenings

And then you had your thrills

And then the story ends

Take it out of fate

Lets burn this script and all

And write a new ending

And let the credits fall

I could be the twist ending

The thick ending

The changing of scenario

We've been reenacting scenes

But which is me

The hero or the cameo?

I wouldn't know

And then the earth stood still

And all the sky went red

And like a foreign film

I don't know what you said

And in hypnotic scenes

I watched your silver screenings

And then you had your thrills

And then the story ends

And then the earth stood still

And all the sky went red

And like a foreign film

I don't know what you said

And in hypnotic scenes

I watched your silver screenings

And then you had your thrills

And then the story ends

Did you ever want to forget anything

Did you ever want to cut away a piece of your memory

And blot it out?

You can't, you know, no matter how hard you try

You can change the scenery

But sooner or later you will get a whiff of perfume

Or somebody will say a certain phrase

Or maybe hum something

Then you're licked again
