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
