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
