The young man's image grits its teeth in frustration. He opens his mouth, but what comes out sounds like another song.
"Oh, the sky fell over cheap Korean monster-movie scenery
And spilled into the mezzanine of the crushed capsule hotel
Between the Disney abattoir and the chemical refinery
I knew I was in trouble but I thought I was in hell..."
It's clearly music at the start, but the backing instruments start to melt away midway through the stanza. The voice starts to change from Elvis Costello singing to a different person's simply speaking, cracking and straining.
