Death at the Movies

It's hard to adjust your eyes after the matinee From the womb of the theater to the light of day But you've got something to think about on the ride home And you've got something to talk about if you're not alone Outside the walls, I hear sirens Fade to black, dramatic irony Before my eyes, after the previews I can relate, you do what we do So I'm alive in the final act The spirits did it all in an hour and a half Bring me to pain, bring me to relief Turn off my brain, suspend my disbelief There's a beautiful score I'll never hear When my vision blurs, it rings in my ears I must be saved I must be saved before the end There's a wonderful line I can't remember I can't rewind, so I better remember I must be saved I must be saved before the end The hero stands up and the blood rushes out of his head But you can still see him breathing after he's dead And after the soul is gone, his body's back to himself And you'll say, "Oh, who is he? I've seen him in something else" And so I pray to the movie screen That I'll be shown something I've never seen A revelation, I can sense it But this part don't make any sense yet If heaven is a film that never ends And the characters are all my friends Or is that what we call a tv show? Or is that the real life that we're living now? There's a beautiful score I'll never hear When my vision blurs, it rings in my ears I must be saved I must be saved before the end There's a wonderful line I can't remember I can't rewind, so I better remember I must be saved I must be saved before the end Everyone left the theater Everyone left the theater Everyone left the theater Everyone but me There's a beautiful score I'll never hear When my vision blurs, it rings in my ears I must be saved I must be saved Could've been better, had such potential Could've been better, had such potential Could've been better, had such potential Could've been better, had such potential Yeah, yeah (God save our gracious Queen) (Long live our noble Queen) (God save the Queen) (Send her victorious) (Happy and glorious) (Long to reign over us) (God save the Queen)
