Let me lasso down the moon for you Mary, my Mary I never been much for pants off, relationships never last long The perfect picture of ordinary I’m a Virgo, you’re a Cancer, I guess it doesn’t really matter
Her train never left the station, love never worked for him The lights went on as she walked in
Just like American cinema (American cinema) (Da-da da-da da-da da-da da da, da-da da-da da-da da-da da da) American cinema (American cinema) (Da-da da-da da-da da-da da da, da-da da-da da-da da-da da da)
Boy meets girl (Hey!) Girl says no Cue the hard times, the panic mode (Oh!) He takes her hand (he takes her hand) She feels the cold (she feels the cold) And just like that they kiss, the credits roll Like American (American) American cinema
‘Cause you spend your life waiting for clocks just to strike Well I’m no Prince Charming, you’re no Cinderella We all need someone to kiss us goodbye I won’t believe in happy endings, just horror stories
Her train never left the station, love never worked for him The lights went on as she walked in
Just like American cinema (American cinema) (Da-da da-da da-da da-da da da, da-da da-da da-da da-da da da) American cinema (American cinema) (Da-da da-da da-da da-da da da, da-da da-da da-da da-da da da)
Boy meets girl (Hey!) Girl says no Cue the hard times, the panic mode (Oh!) He takes her hand (he takes her hand) She feels the cold (she feels the cold) And just like that they kiss, the credits roll Like American (American) American cinema
I’ll be your George, you’ll be my Mary We’ll build this mansion from the dreams that we buried I’ll be your pills, you’ll be my bandage Fuel my illusions, real life’s too tragic
American cinema… (Da-da da-da da-da da-da da da, da-da da-da da-da da-da da da) American cinema (American cinema) (Da-da da-da da-da da-da da da, da-da da-da da-da da-da da da)
Boy meets girl (Hey!) Girl says no Cue the hard times, the panic mode (Oh!) He takes her hand (he takes her hand) She feels the cold (she feels the cold) And just like that they kiss, the credits roll Like American (American) American cinema American (American) American cinema American (American) American cinema
A-two-three-four (Da-da da-da da-da da-da da da, da-da da-da da-da da-da da da) Let the credits roll, let the credits roll (The credits roll) (Da-da da-da da-da da-da da da, da-da da-da da-da da-da da da) Let the credits roll, let the credits roll
