[Verse 1]
He walks into a screen
Just a city at night, he dissolves into the scene
There's a shadow of someone he almost knew
But she fades away just as he's fading through
[Verse 2]
There's a street of light
A long dark night
Restaurant sences and dark machines
A woman in the shadow and a man in a suit
And a cut-away shot of the avenue
[Verse 3]
So he stands by a rake
As the camera pans across
Then he checks his watch
'Cause he feels like time has stopped
There's a street where they almost meet
This is the place
That we come to the scene
Where we almost see her face
And the telephone rings
She swims in the lake
As the shadow on the wall in the final take
Cigarette smoke and somebody spoke
And the light goes up and the cinema's closed
[Outro]
So he plays the film, he plays the film again
He plays the film, he plays the film again
