Fade To Black

You smile at me
I smile right back
There's nothing to say
Just a laugh track
TV trays and plastic spoons, metal skies and cardboard moons

You kiss my lips
I kiss yours too
We sing off key
Our toothpaste tune
Cartoon kids in cartoon cars make their wish on a Hollywood star

There's something inside my head
Been going on for quite a while
I'm supposed to be wanting you
But all I want is to change the dial

You take my hand
And then take five
It's videotaped
Never live
Neon signs and neon styles, neon smiles and neon wiles

You smile at me
I smile right back
There's nothing to say
So fade to black
Fade to black
