- Nightmoves -


The music begins
And the titles fade in
Starring you and me
The hero is struggling to say
That his lady is far away
In her prison of wishes
We love and we fight
But it's all Day For Night
Just a Masquerade
We reel 'til the red light is off
Then we go take our faces off
Like two clowns in a sideshow


Bridge:
Love is like two dreamers dreaming the exact same dream
Just another technicolor romance on the screen
Love is like two dreamers dreaming the exact same dream
Just another technicolor romance on the screen


I keep you in frame
And I whisper your name
'til the picture fades
The feeling is already gone
I don't know why am I going on
Can't remember the ending
