lyrics

Watching Movies on dirty screens
I've been lost in a world of dreams
and it feels so real to me

I’m sitting in front of a broken screen
Feels like I woke from a dream
so surreal –now that the pain has ceased
all that remains is the stains on the sheets
From the days where we ran from sleep
And Made love in the gutter with the flames at our feet
-I never loved who you claimed to be
Rather the heart that beat beneath the fame Fantasy
Change channels, now I’m in melboune
Sharing my fears and my bed with this women
-We only got three things in common
Sex affection and a love of valium
Better than nothing
Better than suffering
Every evening
Sitting and watching that vampire movie you kept repeating
The one where your friends are bleeding you dry
And if the meaning of life is to find some piece of mind
Then their love is death
I really believe we should have fled to Cambodia
They have monkeys and opium there
We could have been so happy
But the vampires were hungry
- Your mother was crazy
And your t shirt empire was well past saving

Watching Movies on dirty screens
I've been lost in a world of dreams
and it feels so real to me

We could have had it all no less
Settled for fast food and slow death
After all those years
You’re stranger to me than the strangers that warm my bed
-Don’t you think it’s weird?
Living in the past with the dead
Replaying the movies of when you were famous
Staring at the glass in tears
Still - I gave you all I had to give
You took more and said it wasn’t shit
I understand- usually it’s the opposite
Me with the bloody bits of heart in my hands
So maybe this is karma for that shit
Or maybe this is melodramatic
Or maybe it’s trying to make sense
Of the course of events that actually happened
Whatever, go be famous on k road
Wasting time drinking wine with vapid assholes
Deny that you lived off my wages and royalties
Act like you supported me -please
I hope one of your get rich schemes
Means you live out the dreams
That we once shared in the beds behind the scenes
Of the movies that played in your head

Watching Movies on dirty screens
I've been lost in a world of dreams
and it feels so real to me

All my dreams have happy endings
so woke me when its over
