"Midnight At The Movies" lyrics
"Midnight At The Movies"
Well the couple in the corner have been going at it all night long
The man in the back is putting bets out over the phone
And I ain't got nowhere to be. Ain't nobody waiting at home for me
And there's nothing lonelier than midnight at the movies, again
There's a girl named Martha who meets me here on Saturday nights
She never says too much, she just sits down beside me and puts her hand in mine
She's got a gentle way that keeps me from feeling so alone
She always shows up late and leaves before the credits roll
And I never watch her leave. I just close my eyes and pretend I'm asleep until the second feature begins. Midnight at the movies, again
So it's half-price, double feature. Two and quarter after seven o: clock
And there's no smoking, no drinking. Get your candies and your red-hots. I said, get your candies and your red-hots
So shut out the lights and tell those fools down front to take a seat
And if you see my Martha, tell her I'm in the corner, and just wake me if I'm asleep

And everything's...

That he was...
