Gone To The Movies

(Album: Feeling Strangely Fine - 1998)

Now the rain comes down the windows
And it drops onto the forehead of the waiting boy
He surveys his rental kingdom
And he wonders if he's really lost his one joy

Another fool would go down to the only place she ever went to lose herself

She's gone to the movies now and she don't need your help

Now the rain turns into snowfall
As the city sky reflects the silver street below
And it covers up the cars
And The Wallflowers' CD ended half an hour ago

Another fool would dig the broken car out from the snow
And drive to find the show

She's gone to the movies now and she's not coming home
She's gone to the movies now and she's not coming home

Now he looks around his place and anyways
There's nowhere she could sit besides the bed
And he wonders if the car will start tomorrow
Or he'll have to take the bus instead

Any other fool would be out on the roadway
Trying to spot her rusted Pontiac

She's gone to the movies now and she's not coming back
She's gone to the movies now and she's not coming back
