Life 2: The Unhappy Ending

[Verse 1]

(Scene one)

Late at night interior, we find ourselves inside the car

Our hero has just gone too far

His lover bleeding in the back

He removes the Lucky from the pack

He knows now that he can't turn back

(Cut to)

The cherry lights in the rear view

He realizes that he's through

Whispers, "Darling, let's have fun"

Hits the exit doing 91

Drives until he's in the woods

If he loses them he's gone for good

[Chorus]

Life was supposed to be a film

Was supposed to be a thriller

Was supposed to end in tears

But life could be nothing but a joke, could be nothing but a con

Where's my unhappy ending gone?

Oh, life was supposed to be a film

Was supposed to be a thriller

Was supposed to end in fire

But life could be nothing but a joke, a sentimental little con

Where's my unhappy ending gone?

Where's my unhappy ending?

[Bridge]

Here is the part where you save me

Here is the scene where you save the day

Why can't the ending be happy?

Why must it always resolve this way?

[Verse 2]

(Fade in)

A cabin in the woods somewhere

Our hero strokes his lover's hair

Says "Don't worry love, we're almost done"

Says "I could have really been someone"

Outside, they surround the house with pistols drawn

It's a waiting game until the dawn

Sergeant says, "He can't go on;

We know now that he can't go on"

[Chorus]

Life was supposed to be a film

Was supposed to be a thriller

Was supposed to end in blood

But life could be nothing but a joke, a sentimental little con

Where's my unhappy ending gone?

Oh, life was supposed to be a film

Was supposed to be a thriller

Was supposed to end in fire

But life; turns out it's nothing but a dream

And that I'll miss it when it's gone

I want the story to go on and on and on and on...

[Outro]

But it can't go on...

But it can't go on...

But it can't go on...

But it can't go on...

But it can't go on...

But it can't go on...
