A Movie Script Ending lyrics

Artist  : Death Cab For Cutie 
Song : A Movie Script Ending
 


Whenever i come back, the air on railroad is
making the same sounds. 

And the shop fronts on holly are dirty words
(asterisks in for the vowels). 

We peered through the windows... new bottoms on
barstools but the people remain the same, with
prices inflating. 

  

As if saved from the gallows. 

There's a bellow of buzzers and the people stop
working and they're all so excited. 

  

Passing through unconscious states. 

When i awoke i was on the highway. 

  

With your hand on my shoulders, a meaningless
movement... a moviescript ending, 

And the patrons are leaving, leaving. 

  

Now we all know the words were true in the
sappiest songs (yes, yes). 

I'll put them to bed, but they won't sleep,
they're just shuffling the sheets, they toss and
turn,

(you can't begin to get it back). 

  

Passing through unconscious states. 

When i awoke i was on 

The onset of a later stage... the headlights are
beacons on the highway.
