Halloween
[MARK, spoken]
Hi. It's Mark Cohen. Is Alexi there? Uhh, no need to bother her. Just let her know that I'm running late for my appointment. I'm at my friend's- yes, I'll still be there. Yes, I signed the contract. Thanks

How did we get here?
How the hell...
Pan left - close on the steeple of the church

How did I get here?
How the hell....
Christmas
Christmas Eve last year

How could a night so frozen
Be so scalding hot?
How can a morning this mild
Be so raw?

Why are entire years strewn
On the cutting room floor of memory
When single frames of one magic night
Forever flicker in close-up
On the 3D Imax of my mind

That's poetic
That's pathetic
Why did Mimi knock on Roger's door
And Collins choose that phonebooth
Back where Angel set up his drums?
Why did Maureen's equipment break down?

Why am I the witness?
And when I capture it on film
Will it mean that it's the end and I'm alone?
