lyrics

ZOOM IN
(Dan Markell)

VERSE 1:
Our picture opens on the scene where the eccentric millionaire
Wakes up and wonders where the blonde went
Cut to the trial where the four-time offender says, "It's not fair!"
We see the foreign correspondent who once knew her dad
I wonder what is written on his notepad

CHORUS:
Zoom in, Zoom in
'cause that's where the serious stuff can begin
Zoom in, Zoom in
On the quivering lip of a mischievous grin
Zoom in, Zoom in
And take a look a little closer
A little closer in

VERSE 2:
We shift our focus to the home of the Vander-Zaruski twins
Each swears the other was adopted
A crooked politician works out a plot to conceal his sins
Who knew the owner of the shop hid a mic for the spies
Maybe we'll discover where the truth lies

CHORUS:
Zoom in, Zoom in
'cause that's where the serious stuff can begin
Zoom in, Zoom in
To a slap in the face or a kick in the shin
Zoom in, Zoom in
And take a look a little closer
A little closer in

BRIDGE:
Meanwhile there's danger loomin'
But our hero's super-human
With bullhorn voices boomin'
Cops come zoomin' in

CHORUS TO FADE
Zoom in, Zoom in
'cause that's where the serious stuff can begin
Zoom in, Zoom in
There's an "X" on the map where the spot should've been
Zoom in, Zoom in
'cause that's all the serious stuff
Zoom in, zoom in...
