The Movie Version
In the movie version of our lives
There's actors sayin' better lines
Dignifying our petty crimes
In the movie version
Lovers leave, new ones arrive
And the same old problems arise
Everyone identifies
We all have our burdens
Trucks and lights on our street
They move us out, change everything
And the screen writer's rewriting
Said it wasn't working.
And she looks like you and he looks like me
But the best we ever looked in history
And the ending's still a mystery
In the movie version
The music swells
A couple kiss
Cut to Mum and Dad
And a couple of kids
And who knows
What'll happen next
In the movie version
The make-up artist waves her brush
And we're old and grey
But it's still us
Or is this just a dream sequence
Nobody is certain
Trucks and lights on our street
They move us out, change everything
And the screen writer's rewriting
Said it wasn't working
And she looks like you and he looks like me
But the best we ever looked in history
And the ending's still a mystery
In the movie version
In the movie version
And she looks like you and he looks like me
But the best we ever looked in history
And the ending's still a mystery
In the movie version
In the movie version
In a movie theatre a block from home
I sit and watch all alone
Everyone I've ever known
Holding back the curtain
Suddenly the screen goes white
And the usher asks "Am I alright
That always gives people a fright
In the movie version"
Trucks and lights on our street
They move us out, change everything
And the screen writer's rewriting
Said it wasn't working
And she looks like you and he looks like me
But the best we ever looked in history
And the ending's still a mystery
In the movie version
In the movie version
In the movie version
There's actors sayin' better lines
Dignifying our petty crimes
In the movie version
Lovers leave, new ones arrive
And the same old problems arise
Everyone identifies
We all have our burdens
Trucks and lights on our street
They move us out, change everything
And the screen writer's rewriting
Said it wasn't working.
And she looks like you and he looks like me
But the best we ever looked in history
And the ending's still a mystery
In the movie version

And a couple of kids
And who knows

In the movie version

But the best we ever looked in history
And the ending's still a mystery

And the ending's still a mystery
In the movie version
In the movie version
In the movie version
