Cinemascope

[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
