lyrics
As the last flickers of life begin to drain from his body, a bearded figure steps forward wearing a shawl. It is Gregory, bruised and shaking, but unharmed. He kneels beside the broken man, and bears his arm as the paramedics prepare for a desperate blood transfusion.
Post credit sequence. Several years have passed.
Fade up on a dingy LA bar, empty but for the dead eyes of countless Hollywood legends trapped in their greasy frames. And one man, sitting alone in a tuxedo, with a scotch trembling in his grasp.
This is Gregory.
When I squint my eyes up I can see
A brighter timelines new version of me
He’s in the corner by the carvary
His brow’s unfurrowed
Wonder if he’d notice me? Or my empty glass
He’s a 9-to-5, a 4x4
I see his family waiting by the door
He got out of Hollywood before
He made connections and lost direction
Fame at last
Although this love is blind
I know no other kind of rapture
Black or blue, trapped in The Room with you
I dragged him back from beyond the grave
With a big red instrument I made
From the lifeblood that I gave
He’s a loyal old wolfhound
An albatross round my neck
The premier spotlights scrape the sky
My dignity’s in a hearse outside
Upside down from here my life
Is a drunken, pointless
Sunk in sawdust shipwreck
I know this love is blind
