lyrics

big black grays
against white noise
sentient boys
in the shade of an elegant ghost

i fell in love with an icon, it was clear in black and white
made by a body full of wires in stereoscopic light
and with fundamental feeling, i was contemplating life
is a kaleidoscope of images evolved from black and white

oh, i'm
ten years past my prime
and basically behind the times
not that i really mind
or that i really try to be, but
colors ain't kind to the icons in black and white

my time is spent with the symbology of silver streaked beams
the story, it seems, is the emotion in the screams
the sensitive snap like a jungle of rotten trees
and the sexual scenes are in the silver-streaks dreams

oh, god.
all new films are flawed
too real and too damn rotten
not that i am not caught and
that i do not try to be, but
colors ain't kind to the icons in black and white

i want to be in a movie,
but not as myself in a movie,
but as a being in a vacuum
out of space and time

i've been waiting a fantasia all of my life
i've been living as a phantom just to survive
every story is a cinematic dream
i want to live in a dream
