lyrics

red roses falling, in a blue sky
4 horsemen gallup, out of sight
a camera pans across the scene
comes in for a close up of my hands

Summer is, a silent move
it's a freeze frame fade, and cut to the street
black jalopies, cruse around
Dairy Queens and James Deans

but what is it now? what is that sound
out my window a buss passed by
down on the street it's just another take
some famous person forgot there lines.

the clock is ticking, a pan to the tower
the clock dissolves into a face
James Dean is a cowboy James Dean is a tragedy
the camera swivels and catches me, stealing a book

red roses falling, in a blue sky
4 horsemen gallup, out of sight
