AFI LYRICS - This Celluloid Dream

"This Celluloid Dream"



Calling tears from deep inside, oh, you're so exquisite

And in the mirror, all midnight eyes

Oh, if I could remain, but it's just a visit

All midnight eyes read "vacancy"

Twisted, twisting



To the lovely dancing lights, I begged, "May I cut in?"

But they never stopped playing "their song"

Of a joyous song they sing, I've heard whispers

On a freezing note, I resonate



Just like romantic verses, just like a joyous end

Just like a memory, it twists me

Just like romantic verses, just like a joyous end

Twist... twisting me



You land as lightly as the new snow, cinematic

Onto the melting boy, and melt away

You light as gently, you're so cinematic

Bathed in your radiance, I melt



In the glitter, in the dark, sunk into velvet

Praying this will never end

In the shadow of a star, in static pallor

I realized I never began



Just like romantic verses, just like a joyous end

Just like a memory, it twists me

Just like romantic verses, just like a joyous end

Twist... twisting me



You land as lightly as the new snow, cinematic

Onto the melting boy, and melt away

You light as gently, you're so cinematic

Bathed in your radiance, I melt



All the colours upon leaving, all will turn to grey

All the colours upon leaving, all will turn to grey

(All grey) All the colours (All grey) upon leaving

(All grey) all will turn to grey

(All grey) All the colours (All grey) upon leaving

(All grey) all will turn to grey... grey... twisting me



You land as lightly as the new snow, cinematic

Onto the melting boy, and melt away

You light as gently, you're so cinematic

Bathed in your radiance



You land as lightly as the new snow, cinematic

You land as lightly as the new snow, and melt away

You land as lightly as the new snow, cinematic

Bathed in your radiance, I melt
