From the recording Armageddon and other love songs.
Lyrics
I Saw you up there in the movies,
All the world was black and white,
You were hiding in the shadows of every scene,
The director called for action,
I saw you up there in the movies,
All the world was black and white,
You were hiding in the shadows of every scene,
The director called for action,
And you kindly obliged,
And did what was expected of a Hollywood queen,
It seems all the all the pretty people get the happy endings,
While the rest of us heroes wander lonely in the dark,
Bumbling through the mist with what life gave us,
Praying for forgiveness, hoping for a spark,
No matter any hopeless situation,
Your glamour would electrify,
You were the matinee angel on the silver screen,
When you heard the call to action,
You always kindly obliged,
And did what was expected of a Hollywood queen,
It seems all the all the pretty people get the happy endings,
While the rest of us heroes wander lonely in the dark,
Bumbling through the mist with what life gave us,
Praying for forgiveness, hoping for a spark,
Hoping for forgiveness, praying for a spark,
Hoping for a miracle, praying for a spark…
