Life 2: the unhappy ending

[Scene one:] Late at night interior, 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
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?
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 con
Where's my unhappy ending gone? Where's my unhappy ending gone?

[Her:] 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're almost done"
Says "I could have really been someone"
Outside, they surround the house with pistols drawn
It's a waiting game until dawn
Sergeant 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 fire
But life turns out it's nothing but a dream
And that I'll miss it when it's gone
I want the story to go on and on but it can't go on...
