Julia Jacklin - ​Moviegoer

[Verse 1]
It opens with a wide shot
The scene is bare, dry, and hot
There's a vintage car outside of a bar
Someone thin is smoking with a look all-knowing
Probably dressed in black, in act two, they crack

[Chorus]
Moviegoer's twenty dollars down
Loves to throw their film knowledge around the workplace
Movie director is going down too
Twenty million dollars, still nobody understands you

[Verse 2]
Where the grass is greener, kitchen bench-top's cleaner
There's no rubbish here, no physical fear
The family dog is youngеr with a healthy liver
They can run rеal fast, this time avoid the cars

[Chorus]
Moviegoer's forty dollars down
Nobody from work invites them round for dinner
Movie director is going down too
Forty million dollars, still nobody loves you

[Verse 3]
Moving through the city, somebody runs into me
They apologise, I apologise
We are both so sorry, they say, "Come on, try it on me
If you can say it to a stranger, you can call your sister later"
[Chorus]
Moviegoer's sixty dollars down now
Watching the ship go down with the hero
Movie director is going down to
The bar on the corner hoping to meet someone new
