[Verse 1]
The movie of your life
They'll get some real jerk to be you
Edited till he can act
Cast because of his TVQ
In the movie of your life
You'll be less famous than he is
That's a strange turn of events
You'll be a cameo amongst the rushes

[Verse 2]
You're learning all the lines
It was you who said them in the first place
Since then someone wrote 'em down
Just to pay for his new beach space
It's all these things you can't recall
And things you know you didn't say
In the move of your life
The truth just flirts and runs away

[Chorus]
And it's so plain to me
You're happy with this parody
In a glittering instant you hold the light so we can see
Your joke's become your reality
[Verse 3]
Your tricks so limp and tame
You said you were a stage magician
But it's only moths in light
Heaven burnt out in collision
In the movie of your life
It's only seats that they're booking
In the movie of your life
The truth won't get a look-in

[Chorus]
And it's so plain to me (Plain to me)
You're happy with this parody (Parody)
In a glittering instant you hold the light so we can see
Your joke's become your reality
Your joke's become your reality

[Bridge]
Everyone knows that you're divine
So we await your resurrection
And they say that you'll be just fine
After you dry out on the critical clothesline

[Verse 4]
You know it's all made up
How come your face has ceased to be you?
All your doubts and greatest fears
They will be confirmed at the preview
Celluloid has shaped the day
And put the cat amongst the coughers
In the movie of your life
How come you're waiting for the next big offer?
[Chorus]
And it's so plain to me (Plain to me)
You're happy with this parody (Parody)
In a glittering instant you hold the light so we can see
Your joke's become your reality
Your joke's become your reality
Your joke's become your reality
Your joke has become your reality

[Outro]
(Joke, joke, reality) Has become
(Joke, joke, reality)
(Joke, joke, reality) Your reality
(Joke, joke, reality) Has become
(Joke, joke, reality) Joke has become your
(Joke, joke, reality) Reality
(Joke, joke, reality)
(Joke, joke, reality)
(Joke, joke, reality)
(Joke, joke, reality)
(Joke, joke, reality)
(Joke, joke)
