Screen Kiss Lyrics - The Flat Earth - 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 ...
