The Movie in My Mind
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 dollar 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
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
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)
Who'll fight for me instead
He'll keep us 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
(And in a strong GI's embrace)
(Flee this life)
(Flee this place)
A world that's far away
Where life is not unkind
The movie in my mind
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 dollar 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
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
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)
Who'll fight for me instead
He'll keep us 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
(And in a strong GI's embrace)
(Flee this life)
(Flee this place)
A world that's far away
Where life is not unkind
The movie in my mind
