the projectionist

don't move

don't speak

don't blink

just leave it up to me

i got a mind and it's like a laser beam light

don't cry

or complain

it's no use

because it's all the same

won't matter once i got you in my sight

you were living your life

when i came along

never wondered if it was right or wrong

you had a nice smile and a pretty face

i unlatched my case

i flicked the switch

you heard a word

surprised by what had just occurred

you thought to run

but something made you stay

i'm the projectionist

i lay the scene

shine my beam on your movie screen

i got some months or years to kill

just hold still you're gonna ruin the film

i'm a perfectionist

if i get it right

i'll wrap you up in a dream tonight

and the dream will play

as long as you can stay

what's that

you say?

hush now

don't matter anyway

it's rude to argue while the movie plays

you moved your lips but i couldn't hear

with the soundtrack blaring in my ears

i'm sorry if i don't know what you say

if you don't move 'til the very end

i'll want to play the film again

if i do it will be hard to break away

i'm the projectionist

i lay the scene

shine my beam on your movie screen

i got some months or years to kill

just hold still you're gonna ruin the film

i'm a perfectionist

if i get it right

i'll wrap you up in a dream tonight

and the dream will play

as long as you can stay

would it kill you to play along

just sit there like you belong

would it kill you to be part of my personal fantasy

would it kill you to lie

just let it. spark blushing bride

it would make you interesting

probably more than you really are

i'm the projectionist

i lay the scene

shine my beam on your movie screen

i got some months or years to kill

just hold still you're gonna ruin the film

i'm a perfectionist

if i get it right

i'll wrap you up in a dream tonight

and if it plays

you'll never get away
