Is There Something in the Movies? (Briston Maroney Version)

We're in a tin box and I've got a toothpick

And I have been poking the air

Somebody gave you a knife for your birthday

I think I know who, but it's not my affair

So I dance down the street like I'm Miss Angelina

My legs are so grounded and strong

And I'm not afraid that if I am the skipper

I'll steer my flesh into the bog

But is there something in the movies that's better than my love?

Is there something in the movies that's better than my love?

I carried around a stuffed pig in my arms

And I did it until I was five

I got it from someone who died of attention

And lived an extraordinary life

But I gave it to you on the day that we met

'Cause I already trusted you best

And everyone dies but they shouldn't die young

Anyway, you're invited to set

And is there something in the movies that's better than my love?

Is there something in the movies that's better than my love?

I left you in life 'cause you don't need my pen

To embellish your noteworthy parts

I only write songs about things that I'm scared of

So here, now you're deathless in art

You've got this and the movies and also my love

You can have it all, baby, I'm giving it up
