Film Noir Lyrics

Film Noir lyrics

He casts himself as an adventurer,
all foot on floor and hell for
leather;
She never told him what he meant to her-
Perhaps that's for
the better.
She's never clearly seen dividing lines
between real life
and parts she's chosen,
confuses character and rising sign,
sex and
emotions.
She waits in the caravan at the side of the set
for the
scene with her leading man
that he'll not forget...
Things get crazy
on location
and they had their little swing,
only yesterday he told
her
that it didn't mean a thing.
Chorus:She's in love with the hero
of the movie
but she's lost herself on some dark trip;
she's in love
with being in the movie.
Call for action!
This is it:
The method
actress and the shooting script.
So she waits in the caravan
for the
film's final scene
and her love/hate for the action man
will fill the
silver screen....
On the dresser is the pistol,
in the chamber are the
blanks,
in her pocket are the bullets,
with his name upon the
shanks
Chorus.
