Artist/Band: Carly Simon
Lyrics for Song: Film Noir
Lyrics for Album: Film Noir [1997]



Got on in New Haven

Last car on the train

Put my hat on the seat

Wipe the tears from my eyes



I watched my life go by

Like a movie in my brain

Scenes unreeling

In a sceneless chain

On the window

And a silver screen of rain



And the opening title scrol

And the score comes in and under

And I'm in the starring role

In a world of love-struck wonder



It's a tale full of promise

About two crazy kids

Falling in love, but in flashback



And then the music,

That gorgeous music

And I wake up,

Rattling down the railroad track.



He could be sweet,

But I stayed on my guard

Just how good a liar

Can a decent man be?



I always played my hand

Like I didn't have the cards

Cause he held them all

So I could never see

Yes, he played me for a fool

And I agreed



And the closing credits roll

And the waves come in like thunder

Cause the hero's lost contro

And I made a fatal blunder



Just another sad story

Two star-crossed kids

Racing headlong up a cul-de-sac



And then that music

That mournful music

And the train's disappearing

Down that railroad track



And the long, slow dissolve

As we fade to black............
