Greg Brown Small Dark Movie
How are things going in the small dark movie of your
life
Late at night you call your girlfriend in the morning
you call your wife
In the morning you go for coffee leave town by the
underpass
Leave whatever happened last night cigarette in a
champagne glass
The road used to go someplace you never been before
Now it's just a race track and the only prize is more
The only off-ramp is up ahead and just where ain't too
clear
And change is a semi with smoking wheels filling the
rear view mirror
You could really use a rain coat and a pair of cool
shoes
You could really use some idea of what you're gonna do
But the road keeps coming at you and you find no place
to rest
And in these small dark movies no-one knows what's best
So how are things going in the small dark movie of your
life
Late at night you call your girlfriend in the morning
you call your wife
In the morning you go for coffee leave town by the
underpass
Leave whatever happened last night cigarette in the
champagne glass
How are things going
How are things going
How are things going
