Gone to the Movies

Now the rain comes down the windows

And it drops onto the forehead of the waiting boy

He surveys his rental kingdom

And he wonders if he's really lost his one joy

Another fool would go down

To the only place she ever went to lose herself

She's gone to the movies now

And she don't need your help

Now the rain turns into snowfall

As the city sky reflects the silver street below

And it covers up the cars

And the Wallflowers CD ended half an hour ago

Another fool would dig the broken car

Out from the snow and drive to find the show

She's gone to the movies now

And she's not coming home

She's gone to the movies now

And she's not coming home

Now he looks around his place and anyways

There's nowhere she could sit besides the bed

And he wonders if the car will start tomorrow

Or he'll have to take the bus instead

Any other fool would be out on the roadway

Trying to spot her rusted Pontiac

She's gone to the movies now

And she's not coming back

She's gone to the movies now

And she's not coming back
