The Midnight Matinee Lyrics

Silver screen flickers in the dark

Celluloid monsters leave their mark

Shadows dance on cinema walls

As the projector's light enthralls

In this theater of the macabre

Reality and fiction start to spar

The Midnight Matinee begins

Where nightmares and dreams blend

Vampires, wolves, and things unknown

On the screen their terror's shown

But as the reel spins round and round

The line between worlds can't be found

Cloaked figures lurk in every row

Popcorn and screams, a horror show

The audience becomes the cast

As fiction bleeds into the past

In this theater of the macabre

Reality and fiction start to spar

The Midnight Matinee begins

Where nightmares and dreams blend

Vampires, wolves, and things unknown

On the screen their terror's shown

But as the reel spins round and round

The line between worlds can't be found

Is this just a film we see?

Or have we joined the matinee?

When credits roll and lights come on

Will we find the monsters gone?

The Midnight Matinee begins

Where nightmares and dreams blend

Vampires, wolves, and things unknown

On the screen their terror's shown

But as the reel spins round and round

The line between worlds can't be found

The Midnight Matinee never ends

It just pretends
