Bronze and Pine

[Verse 1]
I wish my life was like a movie
I'm just a book with worn pages
That no one wants to turn
I'd settle for a rerun
On a TV made with picture tubes
In the corner of a room that's never used...
...me up
All I know is I'll never be enough

[Chorus]
The golden age is gone
The silver screen has had its curtains drawn
For the last time
Bury me in bronze and pine
Beneath the Palm Springs sign

[Verse 2]
I wish my life was like a screenplay
In perfect format
Just waiting to premier
But me, I'm just a film stock
Deleted scenes from a film
That hasn't been shown for years...
...go by
All I know is we all have to die

[Chorus]
The golden age is gone
The silver screen has had its curtains drawn
For the last time
Bury me in bronze and pine
Beneath the Palm Springs sign
