Track Insight / Lyrics
He holds the film in steady grip
The celluloid begins to slip
The rain is drumming on the glass
He watches every minute pass
Spin the wheel and wash the grey
Turn the midnight into day
Heavy water, silver screen
Cleanest white he's ever seen
The washer hums a steady low
The spinning drums begin to glow
He smells the bleach and sudden steam
A flickering and waking beam
Spin the wheel and wash the grey
Turn the midnight into day
Heavy water, silver screen
Cleanest white he's ever seen
The projection lamp is cold and dead
He dreams of velvet curtains red
The rinse cycle is singing loud
Beneath a heavy summer cloud
Spin the wheel and wash the grey
Turn the midnight into day
Heavy water, silver screen
Cleanest white he's ever seen
He folds the linens square and tight
Against the coming morning light
The rain has stopped its steady beat
He walks alone on empty street
Spin the wheel and wash the grey
Turn the midnight into day
Heavy water, silver screen
Cleanest white he's ever seen
Silver reel, spin it round
Silver reel, heavy sound
