lyrics

Why in movies do actors always say “that’s interesting?”
Are actors only interested when in the cinematic setting?
Where the detective floats through the dark of an alley
Past assorted underworld personalities
Entering the inescapable possibility that you are and I would board the same train
In lieu of responsibility we decide to play the blame game
Soundtrack to the picture of the same name
We chalk it up to coincidence
And life just being like that sometimes I guess
Ever seem some props are out of place and don’t make sense?
I know it sounds crazy but I think it’s me behind the lens
I think, I think that something’s wrong
Maybe I’m dead and my mind’s still hanging on
How could that be? Well you see, that depends
I’ve seen the movie but can't remember how it ends
The inescapable possibility of you and I boarding the same train
In lieu of responsibility we decide to play the blame game
Soundtrack to the picture of the same name
The devil and I were down on Berkowitz and Vine
We took a glimpse inside the city’s artificial mind
Inside the minds that think, inside the hearts that love
Into engines of oppression, greased by human blood
We gazed into the abattoir as beasts suffered in pain
We heard the soundtrack to the picture of the same name
It was a different time, a different place back then
When we were wolves living in the world of men
The inescapable possibility that you and I could board the same train
In lieu of responsibility we decide to play the blame game
Soundtrack to the picture of the same name
Tarzan’s son and I were swinging from a vine
We took a glimpse inside the jungle’s psychotropic mind
Vacation time, he asked the missus “what’s the verdict?”
Slam dancing at the Idlewood, sunbathing in the Arctic?
Without her makeup though, he could no longer see her
Her ghost was a reflection of life in the urban arena
The soundtrack is the sound of an atomic bomb
And a scream into the wind, “where has everybody gone?”
The inescapable possibility that you and I would board the same train
In lieu of responsibility we decide to play the blame game
Soundtrack to the picture of the same name
