| In the movie of your life
|
| Theyll get some real jerk to be you
|
| Edited so he can act
|
| Cast because of his tvq
|
| In the movie of your life
|
| Youll be less famous than he is Thatll be a strange turn of events
|
| Youll be a cameo amongst the rushes
|
| And youre learning all the lines
|
| Though it was you who said them in the first place
|
| Since then someone wrote them down
|
| To pay for his new beach space
|
| Theres all these things you cant recall
|
| And things you know you didnt say
|
| But in the move of your life
|
| The truth just flirts and runs away
|
| And its so plain to me Youre happy with this parody
|
| But in a glittering instant you hold the light so we can see
|
| That your jokes become your reality
|
| All your tricks so limp and tame
|
| You said you were a stage magician
|
| But its only moths in light
|
| Heaven burnt out in collision
|
| Its only seats that theyre booking
|
| In the movie of your life
|
| The truth wont get a look-in
|
| Everyone knows that youre divine so we await your resurrection
|
| And they say that youll be just fine
|
| After you dry out on the critical clothesline
|
| And you know its all made up How come your face has ceased to be you?
|
| All your doubts and greatest fears
|
| They will be confirmed at the preview
|
| Celluloid has shaped the day
|
| And put the cat amongst the coughers
|
| One business lunch on drugs
|
| Now youre waiting for the next big offer |
