 Sometimes  I get the feeling  I’ve passed this  way one time in life  before
 Like  the rerun of  some movie I’ve  seen a thousand Saturdays ago
 I know  exactly what your gonna say before  it happens in each scene
 And  I find myself rehearsing  for that blackout situation
 Where the punchline reaches out and punches me
 I always  play the same  part; the good guy  gets the girl, I wind up  dead.
 Who  rides into the sunset  when the credits  start to roll and flash upon the
 screen inside my head
 The  show is done, the lights go up, I throw  my empty popcorn box away
 Go  back to unreality on rubber  legs, I walk into the day
 (Bridge)
 Life  is never logical, the faces change, the lines all stay the same
 I know  the cues where I came in, the exits but I can’t recall your name
 So  save your breath, don’t tell me  how it all comes  out, somehow I think I  know
 I’ve heard  that tear stained monologue  you do there by the  door before you go.
 What  makes me take you by the hand and stand around  in line one time again
 Just to see  the same old madness.. well, I ask you ain’t this the  place where I
  came in?
 So  save your breath, don’t tell me  how it all come  out, somehow I think I  know
 I’ve  heard that tear stained monologue  you do there  by the door before you go.
