Film Noir

	He casts himself as an adventurer,
	all foot on floor and hell for leather;
	she never told him what he meant to her –
	perhaps that's for the better.
	She's never clearly seen dividing lines
	between real life and parts she's chosen,
	confuses character and rising sign,
	sex and emotion.
	She waits in the caravan
	at the side of the set
	for the scene with her leading man
	that he'll not forget...
	Things get crazy on location
	and they had their little swing;
	only yesterday he told her
	that it didn't mean a thing.
	She's in love with the hero of the movie
	but she's lost herself on some dark trip;
	she's in love with being in the movie.
	Call for action!
	This is it: the method actress
	and the shooting script.
	So she waits in the caravan
	for the film's final scene
	and her love/hate for the action man
	will fill the silver screen...
	On the dresser is the pistol,
	in the chamber are the blanks,
	in her pocket are the bullets
	with his name upon the shanks.
	She's in love with the hero of the movie
	but she's lost herself on some dark trip;
	she's in love with being in the movie.
	Call for action!
	This is it: the method actress
	and the shooting script.
