"THE CINEMA" lyrics

If you're looking for a saviour
Honey, hearts don't break around here
All your new friends will tell ya
We know how to make it disappear
And this is gonna be your making
And this is where it's gonna hurt
Don't you hear the orchestra playing?
Is it what you said that you want?

I went to the cinema and I cry in the theatre
I wish that I made movies, good art it makes me bitter
I turn on the radio and I grieve when I hear it
The song I wish I'd written and I could've, but I didn't
It goes on, it goes on, it goes on
It goes on, it goes on, it goes on

Guess I better call a preacher
I'll bleach my hair to platinum blonde
And I should probably go get clean but
The feeling helps me write better songs
Prettier things to see but
My sweet tooth is starting to rot
I think I need a change of the seasons
Maybe a change of heart

I went to the cinema and I cry in the theatre
I wish that I made movies, good art it makes me bitter
I turn on the radio and I grieve when I hear it
The song I wish I'd written and I could've, but I didn't
It goes on, it goes on, it goes on
It goes on, it goes on, it goes on

(On-on-on, on-on-on)
(On-on-on, on-on-on)

This frequency, this heart and beat
I've tried to shut down the sound, but it comes from me
I open my mouth, I'm singing off-key
Pray that sound will wait for me

I went to the cinema and I cry in the theatre
I wish that I made movies, good art it makes me bitter
I turn on the radio and I grieve when I hear it
The song I wish I'd written and I could've, but I didn't
It goes on, it goes on, it goes on
It goes on, it goes on, it goes on

(On-on-on, on-on-on)
(On-on-on, on-on-on)
(On-on-on, on-on-on)
(On-on-on, on-on-on)
(On-on-on, on-on-on)
(On-on-on, on-on-on)
(On-on-on, on-on-on)
(On-on-on, on-on-on)
