|
Watching through the dust. |
|
I'm trapped in a theatre of velvet and rust, with lonely shafts of light. |
|
And other ghosts drinking refreshments that's served up by skeletons. |
|
It's the spaces in the dark, where shadows of dead souls dance on the walls. |
|
Where not only were you the star, but you were the bleak soundtrack to my film noir. |
|
Yeah, well that was you. |
|
That was you. Yeah that was you. Mm-mm. That was you. |
|
And what if we just plug-in and go? |
|
And it's my job to be, embittered and constantly proving a mystery. |
|
And although we're dismal in the roles. |
|
I'm scratchy and mono as Bogart and you are a sepia Monroe - |
|
Who's beneath the cobwebs and the chandeliers. |
|
With others who've been dead for years. |
|
Like heroes brought to life again. Like picture shows and Rocket-men. |
|
And the light that fills the room, well it's the flicker from a paper moon. |
|
And when the film is run and through. Well that's when the darkness must win. |
