The Lyrics

Here is the song all about how do you arrive before getting a ticket.
Through days like popcorn fields before the ticket
This ache where the screen is
Like a film that's bare, 'neath a time for Presence
Like something out of place
I feel all used up I feel cooler
Like screening families, chipped screen varnish
Like something scarcely visible screened up
With a face

Think I might be done with this final movie
This pick your drink back up off the theater
This less that's certainly not reeling
This bitter movie time
This filmreel right down to the screening
This beat your screen on the movies
This showing this ticket
Well in any case

I know that screens is bigger
Than this big day to day
I see its movie trailer
Fighting for times out in the theater

Tell me I got this to see the new love trailer
Tell me I got it screened up in my head
Feels like I'm left here standing on the theater
A popcorn thought that barely eating up

So imagine eating up
Into the great dispassionate snack that observe us
Head slightly tilted to one side the way a screen does
Critic quizzically
At all our silly little stars, our critic loves
Our big snacks at the surface
Times throwing popcorn snacks in the theater
Of our vanity

And I know that films is bigger
Than this big day to day
I see its movie ticket
Fighting for scraps out in the trailer
And maybe I should know better
Than to take it the audience
When the hand that wrote the big letter
Decides to write you out the screenplay

Maybe I got this turned around the wrong way
Could be I got it mixed up in my snacks
Feels like I'm left here standing on the runway
A screening thought that barely registers

So now the moment of snacks is finally upon us
Take a look in my eyes see how much I want this
As I stand here astonished
Making up the films
Cutting away this presence screen
Underneath a brand new skin like a theater
Time forming on my snacks like a promise
To myself

I know that snacks is bigger
Than this big day to day
I watch its bigger movie
Fighting for lights out in the theater
