It's the type of night where the stars don't shine
for fear of being seen
and I wish I had some chemicals
that I could hide between
as you sit across the countertop
tucked behind a magazine
the words they print, so meaningless
as we're unraveling

The air, it breathes of vacancy
the cold is way too much
we'll talk, you say
as I escape
and I will be in touch
I fear that I can't find no words
to patch the holes I've dug
I wove the thread and took the care
and then pulled out the rug

Cause the reel's all set
and you're sitting with me
at this film called life
we're all dying to see
a million frames per second
the projection is on
how can i escape what the picture is drawn

At home alone I'll find a hole
and lonliness I'll never show
pretend I'm at the cinema
and watch a film I used to know
it doesn't change a thing, I'm sure
that I can only hope
to know just how it ends so as
to feel some false control

Cause the reel's all set
and you're sitting with me
at this film called life
we're all dying to see
a million frames per second
the projection is on
how can I escape what the picture is drawn

Cause the reel's all set
and you're sitting with me
at this film called life
we're all dying to see
a million frames per second
the projection is on
how can I escape what the picture is drawn

The reel's all set
and you're sitting with me
at this film called life
we're all dying to see
a million frames per second
the projection is on
how can I escape what the picture is drawn

Cut out
