  • It opens with a wide shot
    The scene is bare, dry and hot
    There's a vintage car
    Outside of a bar
    Someone thin is smoking
    With a look all-knowing
    Probably dressed in black
    In act two, they crack

    Moviegoer's twenty dollars down
    Loves to throw their film knowledge around the workplace
    Movie director is going down too
    Twenty million dollars, still nobody understands you

    Where the grass is greener
    Kitchen bench top's cleaner
    There's no rubbish here
    No physical fear
    The family dog is younger
    With a healthy liver
    They can run real fast
    This time avoid the cars

    Moviegoer's forty dollars down
    Nobody from work invites them 'round for dinner
    Movie director is going down too
    Forty million dollars, still nobody loves you

    Moving through the city
    Somebody runs into me
    They apologize
    I apologize
    We are both so sorry
    They say, "Come on, try it on me
    If you can say it to a stranger
    You can call your sister later"

    Moviegoer's sixty dollars down now
    Watching the ship go down with the hero
    Movie director is going down to
    The bar on the corner hoping to meet someone new Writer/s: Julia Jacklin
