Noir - MNQN

At the opening

Until the curtain called

You auditioned me

You unveiled it all

It was like a flashing dream

Behind your scenes

Everything in black and white

Was it just a change of theme

A typecasting

Or did I fit your archetype

I wouldn’t know

And then the earth stood still

And all the sky went red

And like a foreign film

I don’t know what you said

And in hypnotic scenes

I watched your silver screening

And then you had your thrills

And then the story ends

Take it out of frame

Let’s burn the script and all

And write a new ending

And let the credits fall

I could be the twist ending

The thick ending

The changing of scenario

We’ve been reenacting scenes

But which is me

The hero or the cameo

I wouldn’t know

And then the earth stood still

And all the sky went red

And like a foreign film

I don’t know what you said

And in hypnotic scenes

I watched your silver screening

And then you had your thrills

And then the story ends

We’ll never know

We’ll never know

We’ll never know

We’ll never know

…Know

And then the earth stood still

And all the sky went red

And like a foreign film

I don’t know what you said

And in hypnotic scenes

I watched your silver screening

And then you had your thrills

And then the story ends

Did you ever want to forget anything

Did you ever want to cut away a piece of your memory

Or blot it out.

You can’t, you know, no matter how hard you try

You can change the scenery, but sooner or later

You’ll get a whiff of perfume

Or somebody will say a certain phrase

Or maybe hum something then you’re licked again
