The Movie In My Mind Lyrics - Singles - Miss Saigon

[GIGI] 

They are not nice, they're mostly noise 

They swear like men, they screw like boys 

I know there's nothing in their hearts 

But every time I take one in my arms 

It starts: 

The movie in my mind 

The dream they leave behind 

A scene I can't erase 

And in a strong GI's embrace 

Flee this life 

Flee this place 

The movie plays and plays 

the screen before me fills 

He takes me to new york 

he gives me dolar bills 

Our children laugh all day 

and eat too much ice cream 

and life is like a dream 

Dream 

The dream I long to find 

The movie in my mind 

[KIM] 

I will not cry, I will not think 

I'll do my dance, I'll make them drink 

When I make love, it won't be me 

And if they hurt me, I'll just close my eyes 

[KIM, GIRLS] 

And see (they are not nice, they're mostly noise) 

The movie in my mind (they kill like men, they die like boys) 

The dream that fills my head (they give their cash, they keep their hearts) 

A man who will not kill (but every night again it starts) 

[KIM] 

Who'll fight for me instead 

He'll keep the safe all day 

So no one comes at night 

To blow the dream away 

Dream 

The dream I have to find 

The movie in my mind 

[ALL GIRLS] 

And in a strong GI's embrace 

Flee this life 

Flee this place 

[KIM] 

A world that's far away 

Where life is not unkind 

The movie in my mind
