Our Life Is Not A Movie Or Maybe Lyrics

Our Life Is Not A Movie Or Maybe lyrics

It's just a bad movie where there's no crying

Handing the keys to me in this Red Lion



Where the lock that you locked in the suite

Says there's no prying

When the breath that you breathed in the street

Screams there's no science

When you look how you looked then to me

Then I cease lying and fall into silence



It's just a life story, so there's no climax

No more new territory, so pull away the IMAX



In the slot that you sliced through the scene

There was no shyness

In the plot that you passed through your teeth

There was no pity



No fade in, film begins on a kid in the big city

And no cut to a costly parade, that's for him only

No dissolve to a sliver of gray, that's his new lady

Where she glows just like grain on the flickering pane

Of some great movie

Hey, I didn't watch it



It's just a house burning, but it's not haunted

It was your heart hurting but not for too long, kid



In the socket you spin from with ease

There is no sticking

From the speakers your fake masterpiece

Comes serenely dribbling



And when the air 'round your chair fills with heat

That's the flames licking

Beneath the clock on the clean mantelpiece

It's got a calm clicking

Like a pro at his editing suite takes two weeks stitching

Up some bad movie
