"The Big Screen" lyrics

The Big Screen

Life doesn't fit
On the big screen
And I'm just a bit part
In the scene
Sitting in the dark
In the back row
Nobody's watching me

The lights all come on
And life carries on
I still love you
On the big screen
Ohh, on the big screen

This won't turn out
Like the movies
Cause actors wash off
Their bruises
Believing all the madness
We're over the gallows
They nailed me on

They cut from the scene
And wake from the dream
And I still love you
On the big screen
Ohh, on the big screen

The big screen's aflame
With desire
While we're fighting fire
With fire
What did I just say?
Nobody to care
Of carry me home

The plans that we make
The last serenade
The roles that we take
The electric parade
I still love you
On the big screen
Ooh, on the big screen
