John Vanderslice - Promising Actress Lyrics

in the seconds between the safety unlocks and the shot,

the story is clear of distortions and tears and you'll know why



we're on mulholland drive

can you survive a look inside?



like a bomb in reverse, fragments of truth return:

the money's been paid out, the key's on the table

you've killed someone you used to love



yes I agree now, her story's a hoax

recorded impulses laid, dubbed and cross faded,

it's just light replayed



still I ended on mulholland drive

can you survive a look inside?



yes I can see now, they had nothing to do with a role refused

and sometimes a cowboy's just a man in a cowboy suit
