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 gray, that?s his new lady   Where she glows just like grain on the flickering pane   Of some great movie   Hey, I didn?t watch it      It's just a house burning, but it?s not haunted   It was your heart hurting but not for too long, kid      In the socket you spin from with ease   There is no sticking   From the speakers your fake masterpiece   Comes serenely dribbling      And when the air ?round 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
