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
