I wanna buy a movie theatre
And play my favourite films for you each evening
I'll pick you up before nine
And take you home the same time, believe me
And as tears and credits begin to roll
Halves of us will soon feel whole again
And as lights awaken poets' thrones,
We can sing and tap-dance home again
I wanna be your Brando
I wanna be your leading man
I know it won't be easy
Let's tape a sheet between these trees
And make a movie screen
I'm gonna get out my old camera
And make a feature film with you as the star
And every single minute
The audience will smile just because you're in it
And as scarlet carpets roll out for you
I'll take your hand just so they know too;
You're mine, you're mine, you're mine, you're mine
And as Life and Time both question me
I know each morning I'll roll over and see you're mine
You're mine
I wanna be your Brando
I wanna be your leading man
I know it won't be easy
Let's tape a sheet between these trees
And make a movie screen
I wanna be your trailer
I wanna be your premiere
I'll take the critics' cruelty
Throw it to the ocean and the air
Along with my mistakes
I'm gonna take this film that we made
And see what it develops out to be
And for the first time in my whole life
I'll take the credit, and blame it all on me
I wanna be your Brando
I wanna be your leading man
I know it won't be easy
Let's tape a sheet between these trees
And make a movie screen

Redundant inventions, stories you forgot to read
These distant distractions just taking down your shields
This old separation doesn't need to cause you pain
'Cause our salvation is gonna hit us like a train
Are you always lonely when you're sitting there alone
Or do the voices in your head give you another place to roam
Is it always dark outside and have you even looked
Because we're shining through the walls
Breathing the night air, put your life inside a frame
Looking in from the outside the problem seems so plain
This old separation, like a wound that didn't heal
But there's an operation and it'll change the way you feel
Are you always lonely when you're sitting there alone
Or do the voices in your head give you another place to roam
You said it's always dark outside, but have you even looked
Because we're shining through the walls
So open your eyes, open your soul
Open your eyes, you've gotta let go
Are you always lonely when you're sitting there alone
Or do the voices in your head give you another place to roam
There's people turning over in the scorching summer sun
And so your demons haven't won

How long, you said to me
Well that's a funny thing to ask I guess
Get you off my chest now
How long can you better be
Running loose after some wings split two
Those circles spin down
We'll watch these white lines fading on blind sides
And focus on reflections clear as day
Forget what you know dear, all that you'll see here
Is lightning in the glass standing in your way
And you realise that all that you've ever known
Is reflections, life's directions don't seem so clear
So where to steer?
Fog up the glass and take one last look at your world
You want a break from it but you're afraid to turn away
Focus in front of me
Pretending to keep control of your wheel feel like you've got something to prove
Don't lose sight you'll see
When the engine breaks we'll be no closer to knowing what to do now
Cos you've let the nighttime fade out to daylight
Over till the stars seem to fall away
And no one could tell you what lay out of your view
Was a world fit for keeping your fears at bay
And you realise that all that you've ever known
Is reflections, life's directions don't seem so clear
So where to steer?
Fog up the glass and take one last look at your world
You want a break from it but you're afraid to turn away
These days don't seem to feel the same
And I don't want to break the mould tonight
Decayed we're free to run without shame
Find me on a Sunday morning light
And you realise that all that you've ever known
Is reflections, life's directions don't seem so clear
So where to steer?
Fog up the glass and take one last look at your world
You want a break from it but you're afraid to turn away

The Peculiar Aftermath

And when we're through the den and out the other side
We'll be glad it's over, no, we won't be back again
And when we fall apart
It's not enough to break our god's heart
He got tired of writing all day and all night
And he cut our story short and he kissed his wife goodnight
We went out of his headspace and out of our own lives
We're soaked up by the pavement and the dawn is out of sight
And we tried to keep our pieces together but they just won't go
No they just won't go
And we tried to keep our eyelids open but you can't keep from falling asleep
My darling, why'd he leave you there
When we are so small
Who could leave you at all
And when we're at our peak
Do we stop to think that this is all we'll ever be
Just where is your past
It's a little to the left and it left a little fast
We got tired of eating and working and sleep
And all the endless energy that goes into a week
We just wanna lie down on some mattress in a heap
And not have to think anymore
And we tried to blame our feet for walking but they just don't know
No, the just don't know
And we tried to stop our minds from churning
But you can't keep from feeling the cold
My darling, why'd he leave you there
When we are so small
Who could leave you at all
I remember coming back, but I don't remember being there
I remember afterwards when it was oh so quiet
She approached me in the dark, said I don't remember being there
And that it tore her up inside
My darling, why'd he leave you there
When we are so small
Who could leave you at all
