Our Life Is Not A Movie Or Maybe Lyrics - Stage Names - Okkervil River

It's just a bad movie, where there's no crying 

Handing the keys to me in this Red Lion, 

Where the lock that you locked in the suite says there's no prying 

When the breath that you breathed in the street screams there's no science 

When you look how you looked then to me, then I cease lying and fall into silence 

It's just a life story, so there's no climax 

No more new territory, so pull away the IMAX 

In the slot that you sliced through the scene there was no shyness 

In the plot that you passed through your teeth there was no pity 

No fade in: film begins on a kid in the big city 

And no cut to a costly parade (that's for him only!) 

No dissolve to a sliver of grey (that's his new lady!) 

Where she glows just like grain on the flickering pane of some great movie 

It's just a house burning, but it's not haunted 

It was your heart hurting, but not for long, kid 

In the socket you spin from with ease there is no sticking 

From the speakers your fake masterpiece is serenely dribbling

When the air around your chair fills with heat, that's the flames licking 

Beneath the clock on the clean mantelpiece. It's got a calm clicking 

Like a pro at his editing suite takes two weeks stitching up some bad movie
