in the seconds between the safety unlocks and the shot,

the story is clear of distortions and tears and you’ll know why
G (riff) Am B/C C Am B/C C
we’re on mulholland drive
Am B/C C
mulholland drive

mulholland drive
Am G (riff)
can you survive a look inside?
like a bomb in reverse, fragments of truth return:
the money’s been paid out, the key’s on the table
you’ve killed someone you used to love
yes I agree now, her story’s a hoax
recorded impulses laid, dubbed and cross faded,
it’s just light replayed
still I ended on mulholland drive
can you survive a look inside?
yes I can see now, they had nothing to do with a role refused
and sometimes a cowboy’s just a man in a cowboy suit
