The Movie Of Your Life Songtext

The Movie Of Your LifeIn the movie of your lifeThey'll get some real jerk to be youEdited so he can actCast because of his TVQIn the movie of your lifeYou'll be less famous than he isThat'll be a strange turn of eventsYou'll be a cameo amongst the rushesAnd you're learning all the linesThough it was you who said them in the first placeSince then someone wrote them downTo pay for his new beach spaceThere's all these things you can't recallAnd things you know you didn't sayBut in the move of your lifeThe truth just flirts and runs awayAnd it's so plain to meYou're happy with this parodyBut in a glittering instant you hold the light so we can seeThat your joke's become your realityAll your tricks so limp and tameYou said you were a stage magicianBut it's only moths in lightHeaven burnt out in collisionIt's only seats that they're bookingIn the movie of your lifeThe truth won't get a look-in(Chorus)Everyone knows that you're divine so we await your resurrectionAnd they say that you'll be just fineAfter you dry out on the critical clotheslineAnd you know it's all made upHow come your face has ceased to be you?All your doubts and greatest fearsThey will be confirmed at the previewCelluloid has shaped the dayAnd put the cat amongst the coughersOne business lunch on drugsNow you're waiting for the next big offer(Chorus)
