The Last Cinema Dream

[Verse 1] Another screen Goes dark this week Sticky floors Ghosts in every seat Posters peeling Names we half forgot Old man at the ticket booth Just closes up the shop [Chorus] Let’s make a movie Before the curtains fall Write us a story Big enough for small hearts all Sing in the silence Where the trailers used to scream If the world won’t give us time We’ll give each other a dream [Verse 2] What’s our scene? Space or second chance? War of growing up Or two fools who can’t dance? No masked monster We’ve got enough of that Just one quiet hero Who stays when things go bad [Chorus] Let’s make a movie Before the curtains fall Write us a story Big enough for small hearts all Sing in the silence Where the trailers used to scream If the world won’t give us time We’ll give each other a dream [Bridge] Maybe the villain Is hurry and greed End credits rolling Before we can read Maybe the message Is simple and strange The magic survives us Each time we stay and change [Chorus] Let’s make a movie Right here in this line Give every goodbye A brighter frame A better rhyme Sing in the shadows Where the endings used to seem If the screens all fade away We’ll still be The cinema (we’ll still be) The dream
