The Devil Appeared
The devil appeared like Jesus through the steam in the street
Showin' me a hand i knew even the cops couldn't beat
I felt his hot breath on my neck as i dove into the heat
It's so hard to be a saint when you're just a boy
It's Hard to be a Saint in the City

I hung up and fed myself a slug of Old Forester to brace my nerves for the interview. As i was inhaling it i heard her steps tripping along the corridor.

Light Enters
Light enters the dingy rooms of Film Noir in such odd shapes - jagged trapezoids, obtuse triangles, vertical slits - that one suspects the windows were cut out with a pen knife. No character can speak authoritatively from a space which is being continually cut into ribbons of light.

The Getaway Man
Nothing scared me that night. I was driving and they were chasing me. I felt that was how it should be.

You Seek the Dark
It's just some instinct old as fear ; you seek the dark when you hide, you seek the light when the need to hide is gone. All the animals have it too.
