Various Artists - Silver Screen lyrics

[Chorus] You've gotta play the scene up on the silver screen You gotta live the dream; the "lights, camera, action" thing The water's technicolor blue and the waves don't miss a cue Not a hair is out of place; every line's a perfect take You've gotta play the scene up on the silver screen [Verse 1] Whoa, it's better in the story Always clever, never wordy; you got the part Whoa, it's better when you wake up Minty breath and perfect makeup; you're a work of art And no one ever breaks your heart [Chorus] You've gotta play the scene up on the silver screen No matter where you've been, good times are zooming in You can dream and no one sleeps; say a bad word and it bleeps You can have and eat your cake; never need a bathroom break You've gotta play the scene up on the silver screen [Verse 2] Whoa, it's better on location Cause it feels like a vacation, super fun Whoa, bring the feature to the people If it's good, they'll make a sequel when we're done The surf is up under the sun [Bridge] Hey! The good guy saves the day; the bad guys run away Everybody dances when the music starts to play The cats are always cool; never have to go to school Get ready for your closeup; it's the happy-ending rule You gotta play the scene [Chorus] You've gotta play the scene up on the silver screen You gotta live the dream; the "lights, camera, action" thing Cause it's better in a movie; when you're mad or if it's groovy Where true love is always true; when you met him, then you knew You've gotta play the scene Up on the silver screen
