Facing New York – Full Turn lyrics

This place is growing old
weathering, aging
seasons flicker by
it gives the theatre lights
to show a film
the memoir of a boy
note the movie score
pieced together
with glue and rubber bands
edited and abridged
to race through time
and still remain a child

the movie cuts from scene to scene
filmed quite awkwardly
now look, he's barking like a beast
in his mid-twenties
still there's no audience to see
this young man's misery
what does he do with this degree
from the university?
he lays his body down
eyes close slowly
dark is the room
doorless, lonely
and keep the camera on
i can't miss a second
he tosses and turns
and back to sleep again
{i have some guesses for this line but nothing that makes much sense. something about "his ... bed." i don't know.}

big full turn
stuck between the nine and five
sharp left turn
{a/the} sacrifice to stay alive

seven to one
seven to one
look at his face
look what they've done
