From the album Last Supper
Lyrics by: Dave Mountain
Music by: Dave Mountain, Billy Sullivan, Tom Snively
In the movie of my life, I want to be Bogart
Put you on the plane, I just walk away
Out into cold rain, out into night
Let the credits roll, and I find a new day
In the movie of my life I want to the be the hero
The one that resists you and all your schemes
Lull you into error, break all your bonds
Control you, caress you, give you new dreams
Movie of life
Movie of life
In the movie of my life, I want to be Cagney
Fix you with a look, that cuts to the quick
Move like a cat, I take what I want
Use and abuse you in ways that you'd pick
In the movie of my life, I want to direct
Shoot my heart of darkness, eyes of flint
Frame and focus you, capture your soul
Finish the production and never show the print
You can be in my movie
You can be my star
You can make love to my camera
See how we are
You can walk from the shadows
And hit all your cues
You can burn into my memory
Be my muse
Be my muse
