Matinee Lyrics
we all cried at the ending
we all stayed for the credits
and i kept my ticket as a souvenir
we found our way by the usher's light
to the place outside where we parked the bikes
underneath a neon sign
matinee
hey hey
why go late
when the movies are cheaper during the day?
we come down about twice a week
to put our feet on the theatre seats
admission's cheap & the soda's free
well, my best friend's girl works the ticketstand
when the boss is gone, she gets us in
we all see a matinee
matinee
hey hey
why go late
when the movies are cheaper during the day?
mmm
we all cried at the ending
we all stayed for the credits
and i kept my ticket as a souvenir
o, my best friend's girl works the ticketstand
when the boss is gone, she gets us in
we all see a matinee
matinee
hey hey
why go late
when the movie is cheaper during the day?
matinee
hey hey
why go late
when the movies are cheaper during the day?
we all stayed for the credits
and i kept my ticket as a souvenir
to the place outside where we parked the bikes
underneath a neon sign
hey hey
why go late
when the movies are cheaper during the day?
to put our feet on the theatre seats
admission's cheap & the soda's free
when the boss is gone, she gets us in
we all see a matinee
hey hey
why go late
when the movies are cheaper during the day?
we all stayed for the credits
and i kept my ticket as a souvenir
when the boss is gone, she gets us in
we all see a matinee
hey hey
why go late
when the movie is cheaper during the day?
hey hey
why go late
when the movies are cheaper during the day?

I love how his music is so beautiful, yet he writes such simple lyrics.
Nothing much to explain here, it's about him and his friend sneeking into a matinee.
Both commentaries before this one are right. Damien Jurado writes about the day to day things we do. He is showing us that beauty is not in diamonds, or in the mall, or in shiny things, beauty is in other places, the simple ones, the ones that people have been forgetting nowadays.
