Widescreen (Live at the Bottom Line, NYC, 23/04/78)

歌詞

There are songs that sound like movies There are themes that fill the screen There are lines I say that sound as if they're written There are looks I wear the theater should have seen But though I've made my life a movie The matinee must end by five And I must stagger out into the blinding sunlight half alive Wishing I were back inside the picture show There where it's always night Notice how the screen is wide The second row I'd sit around you tight Will I stay? Yes, I might Widescreen wide around my eyes Blind my mind with lies Find a world like nothing that I've seen Oh widescreen dreams are just my size As we walk from out the movie Do I look like Steve McQueen? Does the orchestra play chords When we start loving? Do we move just like slow motion On the screen? Life's a constant disappointment When you live on celluloid But my movie expectations are a dream I can't avoid Waiting for a girl to say the things That I heard in a film last night But she doesn't want to play the role And she can't pick her cues up right Will I dream? Yes, I might Oh widescreen wide around my eyes Blind my mind with lies Find a world like nothing that I've seen Oh widescreen take the world away Break me from the day Make me be what's not for real And make me feel like a star Make me what you are
