B Movie (from the album *Get Happy*)


                                        
I found America hiding in the corner of my wallet
                                                   
It's a well kept secret, thought that I had better swallow it
                 
Before they make me spit out the truth
                                       
Before they find you're lying about your youth
                            
B movie, that's all you are to me

Just a soft soap story
                        
Don't want the woman to adore me
                                  
You can't stand it when it goes from real to reel
                 
Too real too real
                                                 
You can't stand it when I throw punch lines you can   feel
                                     
All the time, there's a rule book in Brittania
                  
That no one ever waives
           
And everybody's on the make
                          
It's not your heart I want to break

Turn out the lights
                                
I'm thinking that I want to go to sleep now
                                            
Just give me a promise that I'm supposed to keep now
                    
I don't want some fool asking me why
                                   
When I find you're finally making me cry

(Chorus)

         
you can   feel. you can feel. you can feel. . . .
