The Walkabouts - Life: The Movie Lyrics
Why do you whisper?It's true, true lovers whisperOr don't say anythingAt allThe greatest story never toldBoth of us are feelin' oldBeen feelin' everythingAnd nothin' muchOh, look beyond....Past the cities edgeWhere the horizon dipsAnd all the strip mall hookersShow promotion clipsAnd Life: The MoviePortrays us working stiffsAaah.... As wastrels onWatch ourselves againOn some wasted tripGivin' up on loveJust for the ***** of itOh life: the movie,So easy to forgetThe angels and aliens, are restless,Ain't gonna' stayThey're countin' down the daysTill they leave us aloneCan't see them anywayElectric colors, cut a swathBut leave no traceWhy do we advertise,That we have lost this race?If we were proud, we'd hideBut since we've lostWatch ourselves againLet's call the whole thing offLife: the movie endsWhen the villain saysThat he will apprehendBut then rides off insteadLet us drown in peaceLife: the movie, showin'Six and one-half days a weekLife: the movie endin'When they kick us hardTo make sure we're deadAnd not just dreamin'The truth of our liesThe thrill of our wrongsAre these the last things on earth,That still turn us on?And in a flashWe'll feel the crashDon't forget to breatheDon't forget to laughLook beyondWatch ourselves againLife: The Movie's onIn every single townLife: The Movie playsTil we finally begLet us bleed all dayThe last hurrahA forecast of our timesI refuse to fallYou'll choose t' just go blindWhen Life: The Movie playsI'll turn away..... I'll put out my eyes
