Stars - Life 2: The Unhappy Ending lyrics

[Scene one:] Late at night interior, we find ourselves inside the car

Our hero has just gone too far, his lover bleeding in the back

He removes the Lucky from the pack, he knows now that he can't turn back

[Cut to:] The cherry lights in the rearview

He realizes that he's through

Whispers, "Darling let's have fun"

Hits the exit doing 91, drives until he's in the woods

If he loses them he's gone for good

Life was supposed to be a film, was supposed to be a thriller, was supposed to end in tears

But life, could be nothing but a joke, could be nothing but a con

Where's my unhappy ending gone?

Life was supposed to be a film, was supposed to be a thriller, was supposed to end in blood

But life could be nothing but a joke, a sentimental con

Where's my unhappy ending gone? Where's my unhappy ending gone?

[Her:] Here is the part where you save me, here is the scene where you save the day

Why can't the ending be happy?

Why must it always resolve this way?

[Fade in:] A cabin in the woods somewhere

Our hero strokes his lover's hair

Says "Don't worry love we're almost done"

Says "I could have really been someone"

Outside, they surround the house with pistols drawn

It's a waiting game until dawn

Sergeant says "He can't go on, we know now that he can't go on..."

Life was supposed to be a film, was supposed to be a thriller

Was supposed to end in fire

But life turns out it's nothing but a dream

And that I'll miss it when it's gone

I want the story to go on and on but it can't go on...
