Act I, Scene Two: "Overture 1928" & "Strange Deja Vu"
Overture 1928
[Instrumental]
Strange Deja Vu
[N:]
Subconscious strange sensation Unconscious relaxation What a pleasant nightmare And I can`t wait to get there again
Every time I close my eyes There`s another vivid surprise Another whole life waiting Chapters unfinished, fading
Closer now - Slowly coming into view I`ve arrived - Blinding sunshine beaming through
There`s a house I`m drawn into Familiar settings, nothing new There`s a pathway leading there With a haunting chill in the air
There`s room at the top of the stairs Every night I`m drawn up there There`s a girl in the mirror Her face is getting clearer Young child won`t you tell me why I`m here?
In her eyes - I sense a story never told Behind the disguise - There`s something tearing At her soul
[V:]
Tonight I`ve been searching for it A feeling that`s deep inside m Tonight I`ve been searching for The one that nobody knows Trying to break free
I just can`t help myself I`m feeling like I`m going out of my head Tears my heart into two I`m not the one the sleeper thought he knew
[N:]
Back on my feet again Eyes open to real world Metropolis surrounds me The mirror`s shattered the girl
Why is this other life Haunting me everyday I`d break through the other side If only I`d find the way
Something`s awfully familiar The feeling`s so hard to shake Could I have lived in that other world It`s a link that I`m destined to make
I`m still searching but I don`t know what for The missing key to unlock my mind`s door
Today I am searching for it A feeling that won`t go away Today I am searching for it The one that I only know Trying to break free
I just can`t help myself I`m feeling like I`m going out of my head Tears my soul into two I`m not the one I thought I always knew
I just can`t help myself I`m feeling like I`m going out of my head Uncanny, strange Deja Vu But I don`t mind - I hope to find the truth
