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 homeBut what can I do when you're not there?I'm going to the movies, the dollar fifty moviesA dollar fifty that ain't a lotI'm going to the movies, the dollar fifty moviesA dollar fifty's all that I've gotBut a dollar fifty that ain't a lotTo get awayI can ride upon a starYou know that's gonna get me farI searched the couch I cleaned the carI broke apart my penny jarI'm going to the movies, the dollar fifty moviesA dollar fifty that ain't a lotCatching third run movies is really kind of groovyWhen a dollar fifty's all that you've gotAnd you tried to sneak in but you got caughtYou hope the film's not foreign cause you find 'em kinda boringAnd the print will have more holes than the plotPlus so many splices you'll have to watch it twiceJust to piece together the dialogueIt's power when you point out who plays every partWhen you've seen it twice already and you know the words by heartWhen the audience is into it and has a great timeFor a dollar, a quarter, three nickels, and a dimeI'm home from the movies, the dollar fifty moviesI just saw the film they said was so hotIt was supposed to be so sexy, so special effects-yBut it had such a predictable plotEvery time you thought the hero was caughtHe got awayNothing to do and nothing to sayA dollar fifty of your payAnd ninety minutes of your dayIt don't take much to get awayI'm not going to the movies, the dollar fifty moviesCause a dollar fifty's all that I've gotI'm not going to the movies cause the movies never move meAnd in the end the time's all I've ever boughtAnd when the lights come up I'm left with one thoughtYou got away
