Movie Star Faces Lyrics

the boy is doing backflips in black and white on thick paper and the girls are smiling boldly into the camera jumping off cliffs and every one of them has movie star faces they're the legends of films we never made

eating an apple in the mine shaft you were gorgeous and all your friends have that wise guy look like ten james cagneys stuck in a role for life and every one of them has movie star faces they're the legends of films we never made

starring in my dad's desk drawer tonight could anyone ever look at us now with this much excitement? you and a horse pose like old friends and the world looks foreign open and young behind your back i might as well be looking at an astronaut especially the way you all have movie star faces like the legends of films we never made
