Lyrics Movies Is Magic - Brian Wilson, Van Dyke Parks

Movies Is Magic

Van dyke parks
She slid on her dress under that melancholy moon
Somethin to impress him hopin he would be there soon
She gonna run away
He got a chevrolet
She wanted nat king cole
He got a jelly roll
Whole lotta heart and soul
Saphron (?) and a river rat are rappin at her door
Take her to a picture show she sure aint seen before
She was a debutant
Give it just what she want
You tell her just where to go Down to the drive in show
You be my riverboat
Movies is magic
Real life is tragic
Fundamental though it seems
When youre livin in your dream
And you wake up its over
Movies is magic
Real life is tragic
I regret I gotta say
It is time we get away
To the movies and magic
Cowboy dressed like injun popped right off that silver screen
Scarlet up like a jukebox for a dreamboat delta queen
Raindroppin all around
Put up the top you clown
And turn on the nat king cole
Off with the rock and roll
To the movies and magic
Movies is (movies is) magic (magic)
Movies is magic
Real life is tragic
And as time goes by and by You will often wonder why
To the day that you die
cause movies is magic
Movies is magic
