When my talkin' is twisted
And I turn my body to you
Are the sentences scripted?
Is the camera in the room?
You're a nighttime collector
Watching days flip by on the couch
While the big-shot director
Holds your next move in his mouth
Trumpet swells
Ticket's turning gold
And all the actors, they were laughing
While the credits start to roll
Lift the spell
Darlin', you said we'd make it big before we're old
But we're never gonna happеn
Oh, no, never gonna, nevеr gonna
We're never gonna happen
No, no, never, ever, ever gonna
Zoom in on the action
Get a little glow
We're never gonna happen
No, no, never gonna, no
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Will you tell me, what is this?
Just a practice round of the game?
Lean in for the big kiss
While the world bursts into flames
As if somebody planned it
From a big mid-century house
Of glass and granite
With a giant moat to keep the people out
Hold on tight (To you)
Darlin', we're doomed to swimming laps
In a martini glass the size of my bedroom
Moth to light
Let me make my name
Before you pour me down the drain
But we're never gonna happen
Oh, no, never gonna, never gonna
We're never gonna happen
No, no, never, ever, ever gonna
Zoom in on the action
Get a little glow
We're never gonna happen
No, no, never gonna, no
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
But we're never gonna happen
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
