lyrics

Sat in a movie theater—
Lonely, the lights down low.
Someday, I'd like to meet her...
my Marilyn Monroe.

Outside, a grey world's turning:
It rolls on without me.
Warm glow, projector churning—
I'm dreaming in 3D.

She reached out from the silver screen,
Said, "Hey, boy, won't you come with me?
Let's live life like a movie scene,"
and pulled me in, yeah.
Technicolor fantasy,
hold me close and don't ever leave;
You're the star and I could be
your leading man.

I kissed the rainbow beauty
beneath eternal skies.
Just then, when hope ran through me,
She gave me her goodbyes.

And then I'm gone (she's gone)
And then I'm gone (she's gone)

She reached out from the silver screen,
Said, "Hey, boy, won't you come with me?
Let's live life like a movie scene,"
and pulled me in, yeah.
Technicolor fantasy,
hold me close and don't ever leave;
You're the star and I could be
your leading man.

I'm back in the theater—
Lights on, the credits roll.
Someday, I might meet her,
my Marilyn Monroe.

And then I'm gone (she's gone)
And then I'm gone (she's gone)
And then I'm gone (gone) (she's gone)
And then I'm gone (gone) (she's gone)
And then I'm gone (gone) (she's gone)
And then I'm gone (gone) (she's gone)
