On a full band recording of this song, the ending would be an extended dancey blowout––much longer and more intricate that what stands in here.
lyrics
i am in love with a girl from the movies.
the movies you made, darlin', tore me to tears.
an amputated fantasy handed back to me
on Parisian seas where boats meld with the piers.
your flickering form festooned on a silver screen
curls into me and unfurls burning bright!
broken glass gone now there's no need for acting.
your refraction free vision swims in my eyes...
soaking in all your moodiness and melodies...
swelling in arms that were wreathed 'round your spine...
fleecin' out fluorescent folk tales on Circus Street––
the language that leaked out your mouth streaked my arm!
warp out of a wormhole and spill through a fish's gills
as magical memories, mercurial miracles,
spherical streaming shapes scraped off the asphalt
and mended into scenery––
embalming!
