lyrics

Papa always told me
To finish what you’ve begun
There’s no prize for a race you never run
And although I think he’s wrong
I wrote this little song
To keep me company until it’s done

Sometimes you gotta watch the movie you paid for
Even though a little voice says get up and go
There’s a ticket in your pocket
Brings you to a numbered row
But you’re sure you’re in the right seat at the wrong show

There’s a man to your right, who took you out tonight
He’s got bad breath but probably good intentions
So you try to ignore to that lingering odor
That’s blowing out your olfactory senses

Sometimes you gotta watch the movie you paid for
Even though a little voice says get up and go
(get up and go)
There’s a ticket in your pocket
Brings you to a numbered row
But you’re sure you’re in the right seat at the wrong show

Well catharsis is alright, said Aristotle
You can’t just keep your feelings in a bottle
Well that matinee show
That he starred in long ago
Won’t change the fact that now he’s just a fossil

Sometimes you gotta watch the movie you paid for
Sometimes you gotta cry into your corn
But it’s much too late to edit
When they’re rolling on the credits
Of what started on the day you were born.

Sometimes you gotta watch the movie you paid for
Even though a little voice says get up and go
(get up and go)
There’s a ticket in your pocket
Brings you to a numbered row
But you’re sure you’re in the right seat
at the wrong show.
