Life The Movie by Walkabouts
Why do you whisper?
it's true, true lovers whisper
or don't say anything at all
the greatest story never told
both of us are feelin' old
been feelin' everything
and nothin' much
oh, look beyond...
Past the cities edge
where the horizon dips
and all the strip mall hookers
show promotion clips
and life: the movie
portrays us working stiffs
aaah... as wastrels on
watch ourselves again
on some wasted trip
givin' up on love
just for the fuck of it
oh life: the movie
so easy to forget
the angels and aliens, are restless,
ain't gonna' stay
they're countin' down the days
till they leave us alone
can't see them anyway
electric colors, cut a swath
but leave no trace
why do we advertise,
that we have lost this race?
if we were proud, we'd hide
but since we've lost
watch ourselves again
