The Projectionist |
Sing me like a lullaby |
Read me like a book |
You can steal me in an art fraud heist |
Just tuck me underneath your coat |
And if you want to load me on the reel |
And blare a blinding light through me |
I’ll be a silent film and you’ll play the organ |
To go with the pictures I show |
When can I feel my skin again |
As more than between blood and air? |
I am what you tell me I am |
You make me an endless text, and |
You are my projectionist |
Give me like a war-time speech |
And fight me like a war |
Invade me like the Middle East |
Just bounce me off the satellites |
But the picture’s out of focus now |
The blackout’s all over town |
So make me now a candle, bright |
And push me through the powerlines |
But when can I feel my skin again |
As more than between blood and air? |
I am what you tell me I am |
You make me an endless text, and |
I am what you think of next, and |
You are my projectionist |
Shine a light through me so you can see |
Sing me in a different key, well |
I’m your diary, who’s reading who now? |
And who’s in whose skin? |
Turn on your TV, broadcast me |
Everywhere I want to be |
I lift up a rock and find me there |
When can I feel my skin again |
As more than between blood and air? |
I am what you tell me I am |
You make me an endless text, and |
I am what you think of next, and |
You make me an endless text, and |
I am what you think of next, and |
You make me an endless text, and |
I am what you think of next |
In the burning theater I am blessed |
For you are my projectionist |
