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 row i'd sit around you tight, will i stay? yes, i might, widescreen wide around my eyes, blind my mind with lies, find a world like nothing that i've seen, oh widescreen dreams are just my size, as we walk from out the movie, do i look like steve mcqueen?, 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 girl to say the things, that i heard in a film last night, but she doesn't want to play the role, and she can't pick her cues up right, will i dream? yes, i might, oh widescreen wide around my eyes, blind my mind with lies, find a world like nothing that i've seen, oh widescreen take the world away, break me from the day, make me be what's not for real, and make me feel like a star, make me what you are
