the movie was shown on a screen out in the courtyard.
the audience just yawned and stared down into their coffees.
and i was a boy with a champagne glass on my head.
all of my friends: up to our old tricks again and again and again and again and again.

they call the shots so i call my mother on thursday.
my friends will all laugh when they see my name in the newsreel.
and i'm not a boy, i'm a god with a gun to my head.
and all these loose ends. i'm tying shoestrings again and again and again and again and again.

on a donkey you came you were drunk on a chalice of boxed wine.
the streets are not paved but they'll run red when we are done.
and i'm not a boy i'm a slob with an unending mess.
so what of the rest? i'm starting over again and again and again and again and again.

detectives all run to see the world i've created.
nowhere to be found i escape under cover of nightfall.
and i'm not a boy i'm a dog with a chance to play dead.
if you'd just take my hand
we'd haunt those hallways again

and again and again and again
and again again and again and again and again and again again and again and again and again and again again and again and again and again and again again and again and again and again and again again and again and again and again and again
