in the seconds between the safety unlocks and the shot,
|
the story is clear of distortions and tears and you¡¯ll know why
|
|
we¡¯re on mulholland drive
|
can you survive a look inside?
|
|
like a bomb in reverse, fragments of truth return:
|
the money¡¯s been paid out, the key¡¯s on the table
|
you¡¯ve killed someone you used to love
|
|
yes I agree now, her story¡¯s a hoax
|
recorded impulses laid, dubbed and cross faded,
|
it¡¯s just light replayed
|
|
still I ended on mulholland drive
|
can you survive a look inside?
|
|
yes I can see now, they had nothing to do with a role refused
|
and sometimes a cowboy¡¯s just a man in a cowboy suit
|
