HORROR MOVIE
lyrics: J. Morse © 1983
"Quiet on the set. Ready. . . and. . . action."
What do you see behind this terrible mask?
Is it me, or just part of the past?
Oh, I don't know if I'm even in control of me
The mask I wear is taking over from me!
It's a scene from a 1953 horror movie
And I'm the monster everybody's running from. . .
The lens is watching as I am stalking
The prey that the script is calling for
Director smiling, victims crying
As the violence continues -- except for one thing
It's the real thing, not imagined
It isn't motion picture technology. . .
The screams of the victims echo in my mind
The blood I am spilling in vain, so unkind
Police, they surround me, they hold me down tight
This is the end of the most terrible night
Of my life. . .
"And. . . cut! It's a print!"
