They aren't nice, they're mostly noise They swear like men, they screw like boys I know there's nothing in their hearts But every time I take one in my arms It starts the movie in my mind The dream they leave behind A scene I can't erase And in a strong joyous embrace Flee this life Flee this place The movie plays and plays The scream before me feels He takes me to New York He gives me dollar bills I'm sure to laugh all day I need to watch ice cream But life is like a dream, dream The dream I long to find The movie in my mind I will not cry, I will not think I'll do my dance, I'll make them drink When I make love it won't be me And if they hurt me I'll just close my eyes They aren't nice, they're mostly noise They swear like men, they die like boys The dream that fills my head A man who will not kill And every night I can't stop Will fight for me instead He'll keep us safe all day So no one comes at night To blow the dream away, dream The dream I have to find The movie in my mind And in a strong joyous embrace Flee this life Flee this place A world that's far away Where life is not unkind The movie in my mind
