lyrics
If we make a movie will it be a scary one?
Will you play the villain
But I won’t know that you’re one
Until approximately fifty minutes into the film?
Scary movies are fun
Fun movies are sad
If you’re the one that they laugh at
And sad movies are good
Good movies are something we could make together
When does your performance
Make a clean break from your role?
The thing about this process
Is we’re not always in control
In fact we might as well just let the cameras roll
And ad lib
Scary movies are fun
Fun movies are sad
If you’re the one that they laugh at
And sad movies are good
Good movies are something we could make together
Hold the light
I’ll read the part
We’ll get our shot here in the dark
I won’t be shy
Just wait and see
Let’s make it real
And you’ll say cut when we can’t go anymore
Let me roll it to you
The end of this movie will it be a happy one
Will it show us kissing
Or will one of us be holding a gun
And looking down into a red and fiery pit of revenge?
Let’s make a movie that we’ll watch again and again
Let’s make a movie that will outlive us and then
Let’s make a movie that will never ever end
Never ever end
Will you play the villain
But I won’t know that you’re one
Until approximately fifty minutes into the film?
Scary movies are fun
Fun movies are sad
If you’re the one that they laugh at
And sad movies are good
Good movies are something we could make together
When does your performance
Make a clean break from your role?
The thing about this process
Is we’re not always in control
In fact we might as well just let the cameras roll
And ad lib
Scary movies are fun
Fun movies are sad
If you’re the one that they laugh at
And sad movies are good
Good movies are something we could make together
Hold the light
I’ll read the part
We’ll get our shot here in the dark
I won’t be shy
Just wait and see
Let’s make it real
And you’ll say cut when we can’t go anymore
Let me roll it to you
The end of this movie will it be a happy one
Will it show us kissing
Or will one of us be holding a gun
And looking down into a red and fiery pit of revenge?
Let’s make a movie that we’ll watch again and again
Let’s make a movie that will outlive us and then
Let’s make a movie that will never ever end
Never ever end
