Peter Anthony Red - The Projectionist lyrics

He sits alone, a mechanical room, one single light No indication of whether the time is day or night He sets the film on the spool, the one everyone had paid to see He turns a switch - and he doesn't exist He becomes a machine who hears the sound And the audience laughs, and the audience cries As he tries to pretend that he's watching his life And they don't know that he's there Till the day he's not there
