LYRICS

The camera in your mind
Pans
On the crowd
You picture us all back in Nine
Teen
Sixty-Nine

Your clichés are safe
I
Too have mine
O but when I turn the lens off
You
Never try

Well, dream away while you may
Back to the way-back-when
Your horizon will fade
Like reels of yesterday
Your dreams will end up
Thirty-five millimetres wide

Don’t you cut back to when
Film
Burned me out
We’d all rather dim the back light
Than
See me cry

See no one framed us up
Plots
Fizzle out
We both took a shot at the stars
Stars
Fall down

So dream away while you may
Back to our way-back-when
Our horizons have faded
With reels of yesterday
Our dreams did end up
Thirty-five millimetres wide
