Someone clapped the slate and we all came to sudden life
It's not like anything has really changed
you're a puzzle all in pieces
but there's much more to my thesis
it's my  turn to invent the story as we proceed

would you believe we've got a problem with continuity?
lawyer #2 wears a modern watch
all the extras start complaining
and the lion tamer's waiting
to place the beast high atop the cathedral stairs

i'm the director of this film
but that's useless when it comes to you

6 8 24 we're losing light
someone load the film in the canister
break our hearts bring us back to the valley & plains
