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...
