In the movie of your life   They'll get some real jerk to be you   Edited so he can act   Cast because of his tvq   In the movie of your life   You'll be less famous than he is   That'll be a strange turn of events   You'll be a cameo amongst the rushes      And you're learning all the lines   Though it was you who said them in the first place   Since then someone wrote them down   To pay for his new beach space   There's all these things you can't recall   And things you know you didn't say   But in the move of your life   The truth just flirts and runs away         And it's so plain to me   You're happy with this parody   But in a glittering instant you hold the light so we can see   That your joke's become your reality         All your tricks so limp and tame   You said you were a stage magician   But it's only moths in light   Heaven burnt out in collision   It's only seats that they're booking   In the movie of your life   The truth won't get a look-in         (chorus)         Everyone knows that you're divine so we await your resurrection   And they say that you'll be just fine   After you dry out on the critical clothesline         And you know it's all made up   How come your face has ceased to be you?    All your doubts and greatest fears   They will be confirmed at the preview   Celluloid has shaped the day   And put the cat amongst the coughers   One business lunch on drugs   Now you're waiting for the next big offer         (chorus)
