Film Noir (Acoustic)

from Film Noir by Thom Dunn

lyrics

You always tasted better when we kissed in black and white
And your slender cigarillo ash shined softly in the light
Of the gaslamp halo overhead that guides you through the night
You always tasted best in black and white

You always saw me better when you spied me through the haze
Of twilight mists, a blanket full of nihilistic greys
The kind that kept the cold out, brought us comfort in our daze:
You always spied me spotless through the haze

Oh, we're living in this film noir
Where we don't know who we are

You always sounded better singing secrets underground
Beneath the lonely lights that lit our love and hummed electric sounds
That harmonized our haggard hearts and beat in leaps in bounds
You always sang the sweetest underground

Oh, we're living in this film noir
Where we don't know who we are

You always tasted better when we kissed in black and white
And your slender cigarillo ash shined softly in the night
When the gaslamp halo overhead would guide you toward the light
But I loved you all the more when you were right
