Dollar Fifty Movies Lyrics - Ookla The Mok

What can you do when it's all gone and you're not alone? 

What can I do to make you care? 

The key still fit, I turned the lock and I was home 

But what can I do when you're not there? 

I'm going to the movies, the dollar fifty movies 

A dollar fifty that ain't a lot 

I'm going to the movies, the dollar fifty movies 

A dollar fifty's all that I've got 

But a dollar fifty that ain't a lot 

To get away 

I can ride upon a star 

You know that's gonna get me far 

I searched the couch I cleaned the car 

I broke apart my penny jar 

I'm going to the movies, the dollar fifty movies 

A dollar fifty that ain't a lot 

Catching third run movies is really kind of groovy 

When a dollar fifty's all that you've got 

And you tried to sneak in but you got caught 

You hope the film's not foreign cause you find 'em kinda boring 

And the print will have more holes than the plot 

Plus so many splices you'll have to watch it twice 

Just to piece together the dialogue 

It's power when you point out who plays every part 

When you've seen it twice already and you know the words by heart 

When the audience is into it and has a great time 

For a dollar, a quarter, three nickels, and a dime 

I'm home from the movies, the dollar fifty movies 

I just saw the film they said was so hot 

It was supposed to be so sexy, so special effects-y 

But it had such a predictable plot 

Every time you thought the hero was caught 

He got away 

Nothing to do and nothing to say 

A dollar fifty of your pay 

And ninety minutes of your day 

It don't take much to get away 

I'm not going to the movies, the dollar fifty movies 

Cause a dollar fifty's all that I've got 

I'm not going to the movies cause the movies never move me 

And in the end the time's all I've ever bought 

And when the lights come up I'm left with one thought 

You got away
