B-Film Lyrics by Faded Paper Figures
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
I can't pay today and I never will
I'm on the downside of the double bill
Here's where I am (no surprise)
A Monogram guy with Bela Lugosi eyes

So why did you say "love" is an act of the will?
to see something in me is to fall in love w/ a B film,

Detective on call, Columbia crime;
with you in the hall, and me on the line.
When you come in you're my only income
On Poverty Row, my silver screen someone.

So why did you say "love" is an act of the will?
to see something in me is to fall in love w/ a B film,

Camera's on, I read my lines
Up from the dead, I give you Plan 9
If you can say cut and live with the take
It's not much of a set; it's all I've got time to make.

So why did you say "love" is an act of the will?
to see something in me is to fall in love w/ a B film.
I can't pay today and I never will   I'm on the downside of the double bill   Here's where I am (no surprise)   A Monogram guy with Bela Lugosi eyes      So why did you say "love" is an act of the will?   to see something in me is to fall in love w/ a B film,      Detective on call, Columbia crime;   with you in the hall, and me on the line.   When you come in you're my only income   On Poverty Row, my silver screen someone.      So why did you say "love" is an act of the will?   to see something in me is to fall in love w/ a B film,      Camera's on, I read my lines   Up from the dead, I give you Plan 9   If you can say cut and live with the take   It's not much of a set; it's all I've got time to make.       So why did you say "love" is an act of the will?   to see something in me is to fall in love w/ a B film.
