The Walkabouts - Life: The Movie lyrics

Why do you whisper? It's true, true lovers whisper Or don't say anything At all The greatest story never told Both of us are feelin' old Been feelin' everything And nothin' much Oh, look beyond.... Past the cities edge Where the horizon dips And all the strip mall hookers Show promotion clips And Life: The Movie Portrays us working stiffs Aaah.... as wastrels on Watch ourselves again On some wasted trip Givin' up on love Just for the f** of it Oh life: the movie, So easy to forget The angels and aliens, are restless, Ain't gonna' stay They're countin' down the days Till they leave us alone Can't see them anyway Electric colors, cut a swath But leave no trace Why do we advertise, That we have lost this race? If we were proud, we'd hide But since we've lost Watch ourselves again Let's call the whole thing off Life: the movie ends When the villain says That he will apprehend But then rides off instead Let us drown in peace Life: the movie, showin' Six and one-half days a week Life: the movie endin' When they kick us hard To make sure we're dead And not just dreamin' The truth of our lies The thrill of our wrongs Are these the last things on earth, That still turn us on? And in a flash We'll feel the crash Don't forget to breathe Don't forget to laugh Look beyond Watch ourselves again Life: The Movie's on In every single town Life: The Movie plays Til we finally beg Let us bleed all day The last hurrah A forecast of our times I refuse to fall You'll choose t' just go blind When Life: The Movie plays I'll turn away..... I'll put out my eyes
