Christopher Hampton - Every Movie's a Circus (Reprise) lyrics

[ALL] Every movie's a circus On the wire without a net [JOANNA] Coffee? [MYRON] I'm up too early Shooting at seven I gotta go [ALL] Movies [BOY] What's wrong? [GIRL] Can't get a screen test Don't you hate it When a yes-man says no? [ALL] Movies [GIRL] Good part? [BOY] I'm a policeman "Hands up, punk!" That's all I say [ACTOR] First time you've worked on the lot there [ACTRESS] I must say R.K.O. are O.K [ALL] Movies [BOY] Then what? [GIRL] He pressed a bu*ton Out of the wall Fell a four-poster bed [ALL] Movies [MYRON] Busy? [JOANNA] They shot my screenplay [MYRON] Isn't that great? [JOANNA] No, they shot the thing dead [ALL] Every movie's a circus On the wire without a net [BOY] Lonely? [GIRL] That's how I like it [BOY] Can't you be nice? [GIRL] Why? We're not on the set [ALL] Movies [ARTIE] Hey, Joe What are you, slumming? [JOE] Here for a meeting [ARTIE] This time of night? [ALL] Movies [JOE] Yeah, it's some studio smarta** You know I'm famous for being polite [ALL] Movies [ARTIE] Guess what? I'm getting married [JOE] Congratulations [ARTIE] She'll be right back [ALL] Movies [ARTIE] Fact is, we were just leaving She's been stood up by some uppity hack [ALL] Movies [JOE] Married. Who would have thought it? Why don't you look happy? Come on, be brave [ALL] Movies [ARTIE] It's this movie I'm shooting [JOE] You first a**istant? [ARTIE] More like a slave [ALL] Every movie's a circus [ARTIE] But this is a circus movie as well Problems, nothing but problems Animals, actors Two kinds of hell [ALL] Every movie's a circus On the wire without a net [BETTY] Well hello, Mr. Gillis [ARTIE] You two have met? [JOE] I'm the uppity hack [ARTIE] And she's the studio smarta** [BETTY] What's going on here? [BARMAN] Artie, they're calling you back [BETTY] I just reread "Blind Windows" It needs some real re-working, of course If we fixed up the opening [ARTIE] Call up the wrangler Pay off the horse
