"American Cinema" lyrics

Let me lasso down the moon for you Mary, my Mary
I never been much for pants off, relationships never last long
The perfect picture of ordinary
I'm a Virgo, you're a Cancer, I guess it doesn't really matter

Her train never left the station, love never worked for him
The lights went on as she walked in

Just like American cinema (American cinema)
(Da-da da-da da-da da-da da da, da-da da-da da-da da-da da da)
American cinema (American cinema)
(Da-da da-da da-da da-da da da, da-da da-da da-da da-da da da)

Boy meets girl (Hey!)
Girl says no
Cue the hard times, the panic mode (Oh!)
He takes her hand (he takes her hand)
She feels the cold (she feels the cold)
And just like that they kiss, the credits roll
Like American (American)
American cinema

'Cause you spend your life waiting for clocks just to strike
Well I'm no Prince Charming, you're no Cinderella
We all need someone to kiss us goodbye
I won't believe in happy endings, just horror stories

Her train never left the station, love never worked for him
The lights went on as she walked in

Just like American cinema (American cinema)
(Da-da da-da da-da da-da da da, da-da da-da da-da da-da da da)
American cinema (American cinema)
(Da-da da-da da-da da-da da da, da-da da-da da-da da-da da da)

Boy meets girl (Hey!)
Girl says no
Cue the hard times, the panic mode (Oh!)
He takes her hand (he takes her hand)
She feels the cold (she feels the cold)
And just like that they kiss, the credits roll
Like American (American)
American cinema

I'll be your George, you'll be my Mary
We'll build this mansion from the dreams that we buried
I'll be your pills, you'll be my bandage
Fuel my illusions, real life's too tragic

American cinema...
(Da-da da-da da-da da-da da da, da-da da-da da-da da-da da da)
American cinema (American cinema)
(Da-da da-da da-da da-da da da, da-da da-da da-da da-da da da)

Boy meets girl (Hey!)
Girl says no
Cue the hard times, the panic mode (Oh!)
He takes her hand (he takes her hand)
She feels the cold (she feels the cold)
And just like that they kiss, the credits roll
Like American (American)
American cinema
American (American)
American cinema
American (American)
American cinema

A-two-three-four
(Da-da da-da da-da da-da da da, da-da da-da da-da da-da da da)
Let the credits roll, let the credits roll
(The credits roll)
(Da-da da-da da-da da-da da da, da-da da-da da-da da-da da da)
Let the credits roll, let the credits roll
