A cinematic masterpiece
In ashes on the mantelpiece
A luminescence time could never fade
A critically acclaimed release
An Oscar nominated piece
In which I had a cameo to play
From the cradle, as we grow, love is born
Where the memories we find
On the lost and lonely side, hide
Like the angels cast on snow-covered lawns
So the treasuries of life
Guide the way every day... oh, baby
Into darkness, movie starlets
Spin as the celluloid finds a frame
Click of the reels as they spool and wind
Into darkness, screen lit starkness
Check if the rushes look fine today
Scene after scene ticking time away
History's made as we cut to the fade and then die
High
So turn the house lights down again
The scenes we screen are feature length
The life and times, now scripted and complete
I know that each PG to rated 18
Is worth more now than it's ever been
For trailers never look the same to me
From the cradle, as we grow, love is born
Where the memories we find
On the lost and lonely side, hide
Like the angels cast on snow-covered lawns
So the treasuries of life
Guide the way every day... oh, baby
Into darkness, movie starlets
Spin as the celluloid finds a frame
Click of the reels as they spool and wind
Into darkness, screen lit starkness
Check if the rushes look fine today
Scene after scene ticking time away
History's made as we cut to the fade and then die
High
Into darkness, movie starlets
Spin as the celluloid finds a frame
Click of the reels as they spool and wind
Into darkness, screen lit starkness
Check if the rushes look fine today
