Life: The Movie

Why do you whisper?

It's true, true lovers whisper

Or don't say anything

At all

The greatest story never told

Both of us are feelin' old

Been feelin' everything

And nothin' much

Oh, look beyond....

Past the cities edge

Where the horizon dips

And all the strip mall hookers

Show promotion clips

And life: the movie

Portrays us working stiffs

As wastrels on

Watch ourselves again

On some wasted trip

Givin' up on love

Just for the fuck of it

Oh life: the movie,

So easy to forget

The angels and aliens, are restless,

Ain't gonna' stay

They're countin' down the days

Till they leave us alone

Can't see them anyway

Electric colours, cut a swath

But leave no trace

Why do we advertise,

That we have lost this race?

If we were proud, we'd hide

But since we've lost

Watch ourselves again

Let's call the whole thing off

Life : the movie ends

When the villain says

That he will apprehend

But then rides off instead

Let us drown in peace

Life: the movie, showin'

Six and one-half days a week

Life: the movie endin'

When they kick us hard

To make sure we're dead

And not just dreamin'

The truth of our lies

The thrill of our wrongs

Are these the last things on earth,

That still turn us on?

And in a crash

We'll feel the flash

Don't forget to breathe

Don't forget to laugh

Look beyond

Watch ourselves again

Life: the movie's on

In every single town

Life: the movie plays

'Til we finally beg

Let us bleed all day

(the last hurray)

The last hurrah

A forecast of our times

I refuse to fall

You'll choose t' just go blind

When life: the movie plays

I'll turn away..... I'll put out my eyes
