Our hero strokes his lover's hair
Some waiting there until the dawn
Life was supposed to be a film
But it can't go on
His lover bleeding in the back
Why can't the ending be happy?
And on and on and on and on and on and on
He knows now that he can't turn back
As they exit doing 91
Was supposed to be a thriller
A sentimental little card
And I'll miss it when it's gone
But it can't go on
Fade in, the cabin in the woods somewhere
Was supposed to end in tears
Was supposed to be a thriller
Says, "Don't worry, love, we're almost done"
Drives until he's in the woods
I want the story to go on and on and on and on
Was supposed to end in blood
But life, could be nothing but a joke
We know now that he can't go on"
He removes the lucky from the pack
Was supposed to be a thriller
If he loses them, he's gone for good
He realizes that he's through
Where's my unhappy ending gone?
But it can't go on
But it can't go on
Oh, life was supposed to be a film
But life, could be nothing but a joke
Sargent says, "He can't go on
But life, could be nothing but a joke
Here is the scene where you save the day
A sentimental little card
Life was supposed to be a film
Says, "I could have really been someone"
Where's my unhappy ending gone?
Where's my unhappy ending?
Our hero has just gone too far
Could be nothing but a con
Cut to the cherry lights in the rear view
Why must it always resolve this way?
Was supposed to end in fire
Was supposed to end in fire
Whispers, "Darling, let's have fun"
Outside, they surround the house with pistols drawn
Was supposed to be a thriller
Oh, life was supposed to be a film
Here's the part where you save me
Where's my unhappy ending gone?
But life, turns out it's nothing but a dream
But it can't go on
