Like in the Movies

She don't want no fairytale, very well Obsessed with our reflections in these windows to the soul That we all stuck staring out Narcissus taking long glimpses Deep into his stream of consciousness Hard kissing carcasses Time to start living my charmed princess Armed henchman at all entrances Dark vision in surveillance tapes While I repel from her apartment Rapunzel is still awake Out her hair, turning fifty shades She half that age but live that way Left stargazing, I'm testing fate In escapades thru cityscapes On the roof with Montesquieu And Rousseau for the overnight shift On the loose like Pluto From loopholes that won't tighten Seen Sleeping Beauty in a group home Sniff Snow White through a swirly straw Worldly flaws from early on Watch an icy dwarf turn superstar There it is I don't want you to love me Like in the movies Like in the movies And I won't love you forever Like in the movies I want the real thing I see pain in your best face But to each their own police state It's checkmate, why replay Got a sex tape for a keepsake Spent her birthday in quarantine Saying wake me up from this horrid dream In the Presidential suite Chugging Mr. Clean like it's Orange Cream On top the pyramid, bargaining With the afterlife, all black tattoos Covered up with Egyptian linen We cuddling in Hazmat suits A passionate kiss more intimate Than penetration for our generation The last rubber is a glass slipper Word to Chuck Palahniuk, savage ain't we Soldiers on the horizon Social Darwinism in the telescope From the Galapagos to the Gulag Solzhenitsyn's Archipelago Post-apocalyptic metropolis The death of God on our consciences But the farther we get from the Garden The harder it is to recall who the monster is We primates in the Empire State Climbing it, just trying to escape But the higher we get, the sooner we find There ain't none but our final fate There it is I don't want you to love me Like in the movies Like in the movies And I won't love you forever Like in the movies I want the real thing Love is a drug An injustice we dealing Yeah, I want the real thing She swore her fealty Not sure if I know the feeling Could I find love in a lineup Identify the real thing I don't want you to love me Like in the movies Like in the movies And I won't love you forever I want the real thing
