If my life were a movie, there would be a sunset |
|
And the camera would pan away |
|
But the sky is just a little sister |
|
Tagging along behind the buildings |
|
Trying to imitate their gray |
|
And the little boys are breaking bottles |
|
Against the sidewalk, the big boys, too |
|
The girls are hanging out at the candy store |
|
Pumping quarters into the phone |
|
'Cause they don't wanna go home |
|
And I think, what, what if no one's watching? |
|
What if when we're dead, we are just dead? |
|
I mean what, what if God ain't looking down? |
|
What if he's lookin' up instead? |
|
Oh, if my life were a movie, I would light a cigarette |
|
And the smoke would curl around my face |
|
And everything I do would be interesting |
|
I'd play the good guy in every scene |
|
But I always feel I have to take a stand |
|
And there's always someone on hand |
|
To hate me for standing there |
|
I mean, I always feel I have to open my mouth |
|
And every time I do, I offend someone, somewhere |
|
But what, what if no one's watching? |
|
What if when we're dead, we are just dead? |
|
I mean what, what if there's no time to lose? |
|
What if there's things we gotta do |
|
Things that need to be said? |
|
Hmm, you know I can't apologize for everything I know |
|
I mean you don't have to agree with me |
|
But once you get me going |
|
You better just let me go |
|
I mean we, we have to be able to criticize what we love |
|
Say what we have to say |
|
'Cause if you're not trying to make something better |
|
As far as I can tell, you're just in the way |
|
I mean what, what if no one's watching? |
|
What if when we're dead, we are just dead? |
|
I mean what if it's just us down here? |
|
What if god is just an idea someone put in your head? |
|
I mean what, what if no one's watching? |
|
What if no one's watching? |
|
I mean what, what if no one's watching? |
|
What if no one's watching? |
|
Hmm, if my life were a movie, there would be a sunset |
|
And the camera would pan away |
|
But the sky is just a little sister |
|
Tagging along behind the buildings |
|
Trying to imitate their grey |
|
What if no one's watching, what if no one's watching? |
|
What if no one's watching, what if no one's watching? |
