Silver Screen

(album: Teen Beach 2 - 2015)

You've gotta play the scene up on the silver screen
You gotta live the dream; the "lights, camera, action" thing
The water's technicolor blue and the waves don't miss a cue
Not a hair is out of place; every line's a perfect take
You've gotta play the scene up on the silver screen

Whoa, it's better in the story
Always clever, never wordy; you got the part
Whoa, it's better when you wake up
Minty breath and perfect makeup; you're a work of art
And no one ever breaks your heart

You've gotta play the scene up on the silver screen
No matter where you've been, good times are zooming in
You can dream and no one sleeps; say a bad word and it bleeps
You can have and eat your cake; never need a bathroom break
You've gotta play the scene up on the silver screen

Whoa, it's better on location
Cause it feels like a vacation, super fun
Whoa, bring the feature to the people
If it's good, they'll make a sequel when we're done
The surf is up under the sun

Hey!
The good guy saves the day; the bad guys run away
Everybody dances when the music starts to play
The cats are always cool; never have to go to school
Get ready for your closeup; it's the happy-ending rule
You gotta play the scene

You've gotta play the scene up on the silver screen
You gotta live the dream; the "lights, camera, action" thing
Cause it's better in a movie; when you're mad or if it's groovy
Where true love is always true; when you met him, then you knew
You've gotta play the scene
Up on the silver screen
