Movie Star Faces Lyrics

Verna Cannon Movie Star Faces

the boy is doing backflips in black and white on thick
paper and the girls are smiling boldly into the camera
jumping off cliffs and every one of them has movie star
faces they're the legends of films we never made eating
an apple in the mine shaft you were gorgeous and all your
friends have that wise guy look like ten james cagneys
stuck in a role for life and every one of them has movie
star faces they're the legends of films we never made
starring in my dad's desk drawer tonight could anyone
ever look at us now with this much excitement? you and a
horse pose like old friends and the world looks foreign
open and young behind your back i might as well be
looking at an astronaut especially the way you all have
movie star faces like the legends of films we never made
