Carly Simon Film Noir Film Noir (j. webb/c.simon) Got on in new haven Last car on the train. Put my hat on the seat, Wipe the tears from my eyes. I watched my life go by, Like a movie in my brain. Scenes unreeling; In a sceneless chain On the window, And a silver screen of rain! And the opening title scroll, And the score comes in and under. And i'm in the starring role, In a world of love-struck wonder; It's a tale full of promise, about two crazy kids; Falling in love, but in flashback. And then the music, That gorgeous music; And i wake up, Rattling down the railroad track. He could be sweet, But i stayed on my guard. Just how good a liar Can a decent man be? I always played my hand Like i didn't have the cards. Cause he held them all So i could never see. Yes, he played me for a fool, And i agreed. And the closing credits roll, And the waves come in like thunder. Cause the hero's lost control, And i made a fatal blunder. Just another sad story; Two star-crossed kids, Racing headlong up a cul-de-sac. And then that music, That mournful music. And the train's disappearing Down that railroad track. And the long, slow dissolve, As we fade to black. |
