Ookla The Mok - Dollar Fifty Movies lyrics

What can you do when it's all gone and you're not alone? What can I do to make you care? The key still fit, I turned the lock and I was home But what can I do when you're not there? I'm going to the movies, the dollar fifty movies A dollar fifty that ain't a lot I'm going to the movies, the dollar fifty movies A dollar fifty's all that I've got But a dollar fifty that ain't a lot To get away I can ride upon a star You know that's gonna get me far I searched the couch I cleaned the car I broke apart my penny jar I'm going to the movies, the dollar fifty movies A dollar fifty that ain't a lot Catching third run movies is really kind of groovy When a dollar fifty's all that you've got And you tried to sneak in but you got caught You hope the film's not foreign cause you find 'em kinda boring And the print will have more holes than the plot Plus so many splices you'll have to watch it twice Just to piece together the dialogue It's power when you point out who plays every part When you've seen it twice already and you know the words by heart When the audience is into it and has a great time For a dollar, a quarter, three nickels, and a dime I'm home from the movies, the dollar fifty movies I just saw the film they said was so hot It was supposed to be so s**y, so special effects-y But it had such a predictable plot Every time you thought the hero was caught He got away Nothing to do and nothing to say A dollar fifty of your pay And ninety minutes of your day It don't take much to get away I'm not going to the movies, the dollar fifty movies Cause a dollar fifty's all that I've got I'm not going to the movies cause the movies never move me And in the end the time's all I've ever bought And when the lights come up I'm left with one thought You got away
