All alone city streets
Late at night off the beat
Hear footsteps more than two
Someone might be after you
It only happens in the movies
This is life it's not the movies
It only happens in the movies
Oh my god it's not the movies
In your car drivin' home
Hitchhiker all alone
Pick him up to be nice
Toothy grin a butcher knife
It only happens in the movies
This is life it's not the movies
It only happens in the movies
Oh my god it's not the movies
Out of gas a stormy night
Big old house with just one light
Knock on door if you dare
Go on in there's no one there
Walk into a crowded room
It's deathly still it's like a tomb
People never move their heads
They don't talk 'cause they're all dead
It only happens in the movies
This is life it's not the movies
It only happens in the movies
Oh my god it's not the movies
Late at night off the beat
Hear footsteps more than two
Someone might be after you
This is life it's not the movies
It only happens in the movies
Oh my god it's not the movies
Hitchhiker all alone
Pick him up to be nice
Toothy grin a butcher knife
This is life it's not the movies
It only happens in the movies
Oh my god it's not the movies
Big old house with just one light
Knock on door if you dare
Go on in there's no one there
Walk into a crowded room
It's deathly still it's like a tomb
People never move their heads
They don't talk 'cause they're all dead
This is life it's not the movies
It only happens in the movies
Oh my god it's not the movies
