lyrics

Yesterday my sister called
And she asked if I heard the news
She had found another match and apparently
This time she had lit the fuse
While we wait for the bomb like nothing’s wrong
Tell me where you got those shoes

Wake me up when the movie stops
Because I can't stand watching yet another flop
We've been here before and we've seen the hack
When you chop off the head another one grows back
Yes it always grows back
Always grows back

Every film I've ever seen
Pales to the world that's inside of me
Seems like I'm always daydreaming of another time
Black and white grainy celluloid dream
I’ve come back to report that nothing has changed
History always backs up downstream

Wake me up when the movie stops
Because I can't stand watching yet another flop
We've been here before and we've seen the hack
When you chop off the head another one grows back
Yes it always grows back
Yes it always grows back

Every film that I’ve ever seen
Every film I’ve ever seen
Every film that I’ve ever seen
