Movies

More than anything I wish I could produce a smile That is genuine, I've gotta stay genuine More than life itself, I wish that life itself Would pick me up by the belt And sing me a happy song 'Cause it seems like those never last very long And I get tired of people asking me what's wrong More than anything I wish that I could make a cheerful toast And mean it, and mean it Wish that I could sing someone to sleep with lullabies But I would only be singing them lies So tell me, why is life so pleasant in the movies? The girl gets the guy, the guy learns how to fly And they fly off to the moon Well I'm just wondering if that ships sailing soon 'Cause I've never, no I've never been to the moon More than anything I wish I could speak my mind And have it be nice, no but I won't be nice More than a pack of new strings, I wish the songs that I would sing Wouldn't reek of the blues and the minors All the melancholy confiners More than most I wish that most could see That nothing comes from romantic fantasy And I don't want hypocrisy I just want someone to want me for me So I'll wait another day In this state Could slate the whole thing against me I'm sure, I'm sure And I'll laugh and I'll cry on those lonely nights Are better than getting in fights, aren't they?
