Lyrics, if you’re curious:

It’s at the end of the hour
You need a visual with power
To show your character’s desolation
But there’s no crying and there’s no screaming
When you’re battling inner demons
So they just sit in isolation
That’s why the camera can’t be static
We need a shot that’s more dramatic
We need to watch them as we walk away

So we dolly through the doorway, yeah yeah
We got to dolly through the doorway, yeah, yeah
Got to dolly through the doorway, yeah yeah
Got to dolly through the doorway, yeah yeah

There’ll be no more lies and no more cheating
When the camera starts retreating
From the room with a door that frames them in
That’s all we’ll see tonight
We’ve lost our visitation rights
As the characters get another week to soak in sin
When you gotta show that they’re confined
To a prison of their own mind
There’s only one shot that will convey

You got to dolly through the doorway, yeah yeah
You got to dolly through the doorway, yeah, yeah
You got to dolly through the doorway, yeah yeah
We got to dolly through the doorway, yeah yeah

Dolly, dolly, dolly, dolly
Dolly, dolly, dolly, dolly, dolly
Dolly, dolly
Dolly, dolly, dolly
Dolly, dolly
