[Verse 1]

           
It's a god-awf

              
ul small affai

        
r
           
To the girl wi

th the mousy h

air
          
   But her mum

              
my is yelling 

                  
"No"
              
And her daddy 

              
has told her t

                   
o go
           
But her friend

              
 is nowhere to

        
 be seen
           
Now she walks 

through her su

nken dream.
          
To the seat wi

              
th the cleares

                  
t view

And she's hooked to the silver screen


[Pre-Chorus]

        
But the film i

              
s a saddening 

               
bore
              
For she's live


d it ten times

 or more
           
She could spit

           
 in the eyes o

                
f fools
             
As they ask he


r to focus on


[Chorus]

         
Sailors fighti

ng in the danc

e hall
       
Oh man! look a

             
t those caveme

             
n go
            
It's the freak

          
iest show
          
Take a look at

          
 the lawman
          
Beating up the

 wrong guy
         
Oh man! Wonder


 if he'll ever

 know
           
   He's in the

              
 best selling 

             
show
          
Is there life 

                  
on Mars?

[Pre-Chorus]

        
But the film i
