Promising Actress Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In the seconds between the safety unlocks and the shot
The story is clear of distortions and tears and you'll know why

[Chorus]

Mulholland Drive
Mulholland Drive
Mulholland Drive
Can you survive
A look inside?

[Verse 3]
Yes I can see now, they had nothing to do with a role refused
And sometimes a cowboy's just a man in a cowboy suit
