In the movie of your life They'll get some real jerk to be you Edited so he can act Cast because of his tvq In the movie of your life You'll be less famous than he is That'll be a strange turn of events You'll be a cameo amongst the rushes And you're learning all the lines Though it was you who said them in the first place Since then someone wrote them down To pay for his new beach space There's all these things you can't recall And things you know you didn't say But in the move of your life The truth just flirts and runs away And it's so plain to me You're happy with this parody But in a glittering instant you hold the light so we can see That your joke's become your reality
All your tricks so limp and tame You said you were a stage magician But it's only moths in light Heaven burnt out in collision It's only seats that they're booking In the movie of your life The truth won't get a look-in (chorus) Everyone knows that you're divine so we await your resurrection And they say that you'll be just fine After you dry out on the critical clothesline And you know it's all made up How come your face has ceased to be you? All your doubts and greatest fears They will be confirmed at the preview Celluloid has shaped the day And put the cat amongst the coughers One business lunch on d** Now you're waiting for the next big offer (chorus)
