[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Spoken Outro]
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
