The Buttress - Watch Movies lyrics

(They're dead, they're finished! There was a time in this business when they had the eyes of the whole wide world. But that wasn't good enough for them. Oh, no. They had to have the ears of the world, too. So they opened their big mouths, and out came talk. Talk! Talk!) [taken from Sunset Boulevard (1950)] [The bu*tress] My words don't work My mouth is tripping, trippy, dripping spitting dirt I'm not verbal and I never will This pharaoh was obsessed the images and the visions committed to the second void That's my one and only true joy I'm sitting porch lit starring at the floor man Patient as I'm waiting for the Wes Craven torrent It's raining, it's pouring, forehead glistening I never did get that invite to The Christening But that's okay I'm watching movies I'm sitting moody and uncertain playing chess with d**h Shout out to Emar Birdman Yo I'm dead close curtain sh**, an ambitious investor Dexter in the spotlight, the Limelight is lit bright I sit tight despite the itch from insect bites Shout out to 1982, I wasn't even in the womb yet b**h (Wait a minute, haven't I seen you before? You used to be in silent pi.. you used to be big. "I am, it's the picture that got small.") [more from Sunset Boulevard] [Jak Tripper] Uh I get dumb, retarded son Dunce like duh The yellow one's the sun Dumb like Harry Crumb Carry d** I would've went to prom with Carrie cuffed I'm a yuppie, khakis cuffed By the tennis court in a VW Bug backing up Nurse ratchet back of trunk Happy buzz, you get hung from hooks with the mapache ones It's that batty sh**, critics oblivious to how mad he is I f** the issues and s*uts with their daddy's dicks Stoned like witch trials, I smoke like Trinidadians Me and my hell hounds loitering like psych patients in a court yard with El's out Hung from a belt now, come find me My crib deep like possession, a Hell house My mouth a dropping well where gels melt down If I don't show I'm in a motel having a meltdown With a despondent s*ut playing doctor like Gregory Peck in Spellbound Get the hell out (You see this is my life, it always will be. There's nothing else, just us, and the cameras. And those wonderful people out there in the dark.) [more from Sunset Boulevard]
