Don Black - Every Movie's a Circus lyrics

[BETTY] I read One of your stories Wasn't it Scribner's Some magazine Title - Something with windows [JOE] It was "Blind Windows" If that's what you mean [BETTY] That's right I really liked it [JOE] I'm all warm and runny inside [BETTY] Let me pitch it to Sheldrake [JOE] I may be broke But I still have my pride [BETTY] Come on Get off your high horse Writers with pride don't live in L.A Silence Exile and cunning Those are the only cards you can play [JOE] Sheldrake won't buy this story He likes trash with fairy lights Jesus, think of the effort Trying to get him to heighten his sights [BETTY] Every movie's a circus Can't we discuss this Schwab's Thursday night? [JOE] What for? Nothing will happen I gotta go now Fight the good fight [BETTY] What's the rush? [JOE] See those gorillas? [BETTY] Yes, what about them? [JOE] Do me a terrific favor Keep them amused while I escape [BETTY] If you're at Schwab's on Thursday [JOE, spoken] Done. Look, those guys are after my car. If I lose that in this town, it's like having my legs cut off [BETTY, spoken] Let's duck into the soundstage [FIRST FINANCEMAN] Come on, Gillis, give us the keys [BETTY, spoken] Shhh! Please be quiet, Mr. DeMille is shooting right over there [FIRST FINANCEMAN, spoken] So what? [BETTY, spoken] He's working on "Samson and Delilah" - they're doing a red-hot scene with Hedy Lamarr. You want to stay and watch? [FIRST FINANCEMAN, spoken] No [SECOND FINANCEMAN, spoken] Relax, we got five minutes
