Movie Kisses

Thea Gilmore


Tell me 
Are you really leaving? 
I fell so far 
I'm almost on the ceiling 
You said I've got a way with words 
I'm not so sure 
But baby I know I got away with murder 

So then 
Here we are full circle 
And I'm tired 
Of the romantic hard-sell 
You know those sentimental lines are where we went wrong 
Cos all those movie kisses just last too long. 

So lets push the curtains back 
Lets give this love a heart attack. 

Now babe 
Get out your theory 
And we can 
Explain away the mystery 
Cos you painted me in chromakey blue and kept me thin 
So I would disappear when you put your landscape in 

Guess I had my red shoes on 
So strike a match and lets move on 

Here it is 
The not-so-happy-ending 
We've done 
Our picket fence defending 
We did Bogart and Bacall and now the spotlight's gone and anyway 
All those movie kisses just last too long yeah 
All those movie kisses just last to long and 
All those movie kisses just last too long
