B Movie
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I found america hiding in the corner of my wallet
It's a well kept secret, thought that i had better swallow it
Before they make me spit out the truth
Before they find you're lying about your youth
B movie, that's all you are to me
Just a soft soap story
Don't want the woman to adore me
You can't stand it when it goes from real to reel
Too real too real
You can't stand it when i throw punch lines you can feel
All the time, there's a rule book in brittania
That no one ever waives
And everybody's on the make
It's not your heart i want to break
Turn out the lights
I'm thinking that i want to go to sleep now
Just give me a promise that i'm supposed to keep now
I don't want some fool asking me why
When i find you're finally making me cry
