This Celluloid Dream (Correct) Lyrics

Calling tears from deep inside,

Oh, you're so exquisite.

And in the mirror

All midnight eyes.

Oh, if I could remain, 

But it's just a visit.

All midnight eyes read 

"Vacancy."

Twisted, twisting.

To the lovely dancing lights,

I begged, "May I cut in?" 

But they never stopped 

Playing "their song."

Of a joyous song they sing,

I've heard whispers.

On a freezing note, 

I resonate.

Just like romantic verses,

Just like a joyous end, 

Just like a memory, it twists me.

Just like romantic verses, 

Just like a joyous end, 

Ohhhhhh...twisting me.

You land as lightly as the new snow,

Cinematic, 

On to the melting boy 

And melt away.

You light as gently,

You're so cinematic.

Bathed in your radiance,

I melt. Oh

In the glitter,

In the dark, 

Sunk into velvet praying this 

Will never end.

In the shadow of a star, 

In static pallor, 

I realized I never began.

Just like romantic verses,

Just like a joyous end, 

Just like a memory,

It twists me.

Just like romantic verses,

Just like a joyous end,

Ohhhhhh...twisting me.

You land as lightly as the new snow, 

Cinematic, 

On to the melting boy

And melt away.

You light as gently, 

You're so cinematic.

Bathed in your radiance, 

I melt.

All the colors upon leaving, 

All will turn to grey.

All the colors upon leaving, 

All will turn to grey.

ALL GREY

All the colors (all grey) 

Upon leaving (all grey),

All will turn to grey.

ALL GREY

All the colors (all grey)

Upon leaving (all grey), 

All will turn to grey.

Grey.

...Twisting me

You land as lightly as the new snow, 

Cinematic, 

On to the melting boy 

And melt away.

You light as gently, 

You're so cinematic.

Bathed in your radiance.

You land as lightly as the new snow, 

Cinematic. 

You land as lightly as the new snow, 

And melt away.

You land as lightly as the new snow, 

Cinematic.

Bathed in your radiance, 

I melt.
