Scene one
Late at night and serious
We find ourselves inside the car
Our hero has just gone too far
His lover bleeding in the back
He removes the Lucky from the pack
He knows now that he can't turn back

Cut to
The cherry lights in the rearview
He realizes that he's through
He whispers, "Darling, let's have fun"
Hits the exit doing 91
Drives until he's in the woods
If he loses them he's gone for good

Life was supposed to be a film
Was supposed to be a thriller
Was supposed to end in tears
But life could be nothing but a joke
Could be nothing but a con
Where's my unhappy ending gone?

Oh, life was supposed to be a film
Was supposed to be a thriller
Was supposed to end in fire
But life could be nothing but a joke
A sentimental little con
Where's my unhappy ending gone?
Where's my unhappy ending?
Here is the part where you save me
Here is the scene where you save the day
Why can't the ending be happy?
Why must it always resolve this way?

Fade in
A cabin in the woods somewhere
Our hero strokes his lover's hair
Says, "Don't worry, love, we are almost done"
Says, "I could've really been someone"

Outside
They surround the house with pistols drawn
So waiting then until the dawn
Decides and says he can't go on
We know now that he can't go on

Life was supposed to be a film
Was supposed to be a thriller
Was supposed to end in blood
But life could be nothing but a joke
A sentimental little con
Where has my unhappy ending gone?

Oh, life was supposed to be a film
Was supposed to be a thriller
Was supposed to end in fire
But, life, turns out it's nothing but a dream
And that I'll miss it when its gone
I want to the story to go on and on and on and on and on...
But it can't go on...
