lyrics

The shutter and the click came on really quick
I loved you at first sight, no one put up a fight
The negative exposed a wolf inside sheep’s clothes
A wolf inside sheep’s clothes...

Developed over time
Hung out to dry on the line
Developed over time
Hung out to dry on the line

Here in a darkroom up the pulses go
Because the lens went zoom, now the closeup shows
Here in a darkroom we are both exposed
True love will not care whom may blush at what it shows

It can be a real surprise as shapes emerge to eyes
The smell gets on our hands, we start to understand
Who am I? What do you bring from all that you’ve been through?
Bring from all that you've been through...

If the picture finds a frame
Would the problems then be tamed?
If the picture finds a frame
Would the problems then be tamed?

Here in a darkroom, as every shutter knows
Because the lens went zoom, now the close up shows
But here in a darkroom, oh, red the safelight glows
So as the lens goes zoom two emperors disrobe
Two emperors disrobe

No, don’t cry if the print takes a wrong turn
It can be fixed if we dodge and burn
No, don’t cry if the print takes a wrong turn
It can be fixed if we dodge and burn

The shutter and the click came on really quick
I loved you at first sight, no one put up a fight
The negative exposed a wolf inside sheep’s clothes
A wolf inside sheep’s clothes...

Developed over time
Hung out to dry on the line
Developed over time
Hung out to dry on the line
