The chair folds down, I can't sit straight no matter what I do
She's always late, we go to the early show and she's late, but she says "that isn't true"
Ten dollars, Twelve, Fifteen, Twenty - at least there's never any wait
At the movies
Darkness falls the first reel unrolls, with you next to me I'm safe
I got a hand to hold, something might scare me, could be that Kreuger Freddy
Which one is this I don't know, I only came to see the show, not answer a questionare
At the movies
Is it real, or is it fake, no it's just a film. Something in between
It's not something to ask, just something to be seen, up there on the big screen
but how can it be in-between?
At the movies
Chaplin, Groucho, Charley Chan, Larry, Curly, Mo - isn't there a Joe?
"No, just Larry, Curly, Mo, would you be quiet, I'm trying to watch the show."
"But I thought there was a Joe."
"No."
At the movies
"Popcorn, candy, soda water, nothing here for a healthnut like me to eat,
I paid just as much for my seat!
How come they don't cater to the health nut crowd?"
"Hey there, you two, you're talking way too loud--"
At the movies
"Did you know Bob Roberts is Unforgiven and the Player makes Malcom X go to Howard's End
And there's Shadows and Fog across Hoffa as he searches for A Few Good Men or Maybe a Distinguished Gentleman?"
If you think that you know where and when--
At the Movies
Rocky Horror All in Drag, Sly Stallone hits a punching bag. Jack Nicholson goes insane,
Orsen Wells replays Citizen Kane - you know Stephen Spielberg bought Rosebud the sled for 20,000 dollars.
"Yah?"
"Yeah. Wells heard about it, said, 'not that he would pay me that much for a script.'
I guess we're at the movies
Greta Garbo and Marilyn Monroe, Lisa Minelli and Joel Grey, back at the Cabaret,
Clara Bow and Jean Harlow, don't forget Bridgette Bardow - or Elisabeth Taylor along the way--
"I can't sit with you."
"Why not?"
"You know why not. It's people like you that make me walk out."
