Film Noir lyrics

Got on in New Haven Last car on the train Put my hat on the seat Wipe the tears from my eyes I watched my life go by Like a movie in my brain Scenes unreeling In a sceneless chain On the window And a silver screen of rain And the opening title scrol And the score comes in and under And I'm in the starring role In a world of love-struck wonder It's a tale full of promise About two crazy kids Falling in love, but in flashback And then the music, That gorgeous music And I wake up, Rattling down the railroad track. He could be sweet, But I stayed on my guard Just how good a liar Can a decent man be? I always played my hand Like I didn't have the cards Cause he held them all So I could never see Yes, he played me for a fool And I agreed And the closing credits roll And the waves come in like thunder Cause the hero's lost contro And I made a fatal blunder Just another sad story Two star-crossed kids Racing headlong up a cul-de-sac And then that music That mournful music And the train's disappearing Down that railroad track And the long, slow dissolve As we fade to black............
