Lyrics
Intro
Sound of a coin dropping into a machine: Clink-Drop
Sound of a Camera Flash charging: Eeeeeee... POP!
Dirty Cigar Box Guitar Riff starts - swampy and hypnotic
[C. Mora - Spoken, sweet but creepy]:
Smile for the birdie, Calder.
The machine is hungry.
And Cindy needs new shoes.
¡Uno, dos, tres, Flash!
Verse 1
Murga Beat kicks in - Bombo & Platillo
Iron door slams, the fan starts to spin,
Welcome to the box where the sinners fit in!
It’s not a throne room, it’s a coffin of light,
Four frames to capture your eternal night!
Cindy is watching with a broom made of ash,
Waiting for the moment of the blinding flash.
She don't want your money, she don't want your crown,
She wants the little pieces that you cut... to fit down!
Chorus
Explosion of Gospel Choir & Funk
FLASH! (Clap! Clap!) THE GLASS SLIPPER IS TIGHT!
CUT OFF THE HEEL TO MAKE THE PICTURE RIGHT!
FRAME ONE: THE SHOCK! (Oh no!)
FRAME TWO: THE GRIN! (Let's go!)
FRAME THREE: THE SHADOW IS CRAWLING UNDER THE SKIN!
THIS IS THE JAIL PHOTOMATON, BABY, DON'T YOU BLINK!
YOUR SOUL IS ON THE PAPER IN MAGENTA INK!
[C Mora Scat]: Pa-da-ba-da-bap-Zzzzt!
Verse 2
Stoner Groove. Slower and heavier.
You sneer at the lens, thinking you are the King,
But the chemical bath is a stinging thing.
The curtain is purple, stained with the sweat,
Of a thousand ghosts that you haven't met yet.
Cindy laughs, sweeping toes from the floor,
"He’s too big for the frame, slam the sliding door!"
It’s a fairy tale ending, cruel and raw,
Captured by the lens of the mechanical law!
(Smile, kid!)
Bridge
Accordion Solo - Manic and fast like a tarantella
Camera sounds rhythmic: Click-Whirr-Click-Whirr
[C. Mora - Whispering]:
Frame Four...
The eyes are empty.
The paper is wet.
The smell of regret.
Outro
Murga Percussion goes wild + Guitar Feedback
KEEP THE POSE!
KEEP THE TOES!
I LOOK BETTER IN BLACK AND WHITE!
BUT TONIGHT... WE BURN BRIGHT!
¡Chau, Calder!
Sound of a photo strip falling: Phwt
[C. Mora]: Nice shot.
