I've been dying to reach you but your lines have been tied

Help me breach this disconnection from the other side

‘Cause I finally made it where I grow my own grass

The last scene I played... it was six handles and brass

 

No I could not take the monkey… had to leave it all behind

Where I left the silver legend here to flicker on your mind

I'm a rolling Moviola… click the switch and hit the spark

Stop believing that it's over… I'm as hot in the dark

 

I put on all your faces and I pulled off my pants

In some celluloid aces that I laid down to "Chance"

Now I'm digging in the garden but I had to get back

To tell you if you're wondering I'm still all right Jack

 

No I could not take the monkey… had to leave it all behind

Where I left the silver legend here to flicker on your mind

I'm a rolling Moviola… click the switch and hit the spark

Stop believing that it's over… I'm as hot in the dark

 

I was the first or so she said

No not the last in Lolita's bed

I made a stranger love instead

Showing my life I played the game

Knowing the price you can pay for fame

 

No I could not take the monkey… had to leave it all behind

Where I left the silver legend here to flicker on your mind

I'm a rolling Moviola… click the switch and hit the spark

Stop believing that it's over… I'm as hot in the dark
