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
