Widescreen

There are songs that sound like movies
 
 There are themes that fill the screen
 There are lines I say that sound as if they're written
 There are looks I wear the theater should have seen
 But though I've made my life a movie
 The matinee must end by five
 And I must stagger out into the blinding sunlight half alive
 Wishing I were back inside the picture show
 There where it's always night
 Notice how the screen is wide
 The second role I've said around too tight
 Will I stay? yes, I might
 Oh widescreen wider on my eyes
 Lie my mind with lies
 Find the world like nothing that I've seen
 Oh widescreen dreams are just my sighs
 ♪
 As we walk from out the movie
 Are we acting out a scene
 Does the orchestra play chords
 When we start loving?
 Do we move just like slow motion
 On the screen?
 Life's a constant disappointment
 When you live on celluloid
 But my movie expectations are a dream I can't avoid
 Waiting for a man to say the things
 That I heard in the film last night
 But he doesn't want to play the role
 And he can't pick his cues up right
 Will I dream? yes, I might!
 Oh widescreen winding round my eyes
 Blinding me with lies
 Finding I've been fooled by what I've seen
 No, widescreen dreams are more than you
 How can lies be true?
 All we have is life and mind
 And love we find with a friend
 Oh let the movie end...
