Screen Kiss

Screen Kiss - Thomas Dolby

Miller time at the bar

Where all the English meet

She used to drink in the hills

Only now she drinks in the valleys

Where every road has a name

Like Beachwood Avenue

Or so it seems

A Croydon girl could

Really hope to find a home

But with a thousand miles

Of real estate to choose from

You begin to see the value

Of your freedom

The moon is bright in the haze

Above old Hollywood

And deer look down from the hills

And it＇s three o＇clock in the morning

Pill in hand you can hear

His golden surfer voice

Crying out mummy

Won＇t come out of the bathroom

And you＇d hoped he＇d say

He＇s sorry if he hit you

But he＇s buried

In the screenplay of his feature

Screen kiss one screen kiss

Straight from a film I forget who was in

Screen kiss one screen kiss

Blue filter lens a pool of vaseline

But all the rushes look the same

Only there＇s a movie

I wouldn＇t pay to see again

If it＇s the one with him in

You and I could be a mile

Above the earth tremors

Hold to me and we＇ll climb

You could sneak out

While he＇s sleeping

Suicide in the hills

Above old Hollywood

Is never gonna change the world

Change the world overnight

Any more than the invention

Of the six-gun - child

Any more than the discovery of Radium

Or California tipping in the ocean

Screen kiss

One screen kiss

Straight from a film I forget who was in

Screen kiss one screen kiss

Blue filter lens a pool of vaseline

But all the rushes look the same

Only there＇s a movie

I wouldn＇t pay to see again

If it＇s the one

If it＇s the one with him in
