Movies is the first single off 2001’s ANThology. It was released prior to Smooth Criminal’s success, then re-released so it would reach a larger audience. Even though it only peaked at No. 18 on the US Modern Rock Chart, it stayed on the chart for 5 weeks longer than Smooth Criminal did.
[Verse 1]
At slow speed we all seem focused
In motion we seem wrong, wrong
In summer we can taste the rain
[Chorus]
I want you to be free
Don't worry about me
And just like the movies
We play out our last scene
[Verse 2]
Two can play this game
We both want power
In winter we can taste the pain
In our short years, we come long way
To treat it bad and throw away
In our short years, we come long way
To treat it bad and throw away
[Chorus]
I want you to be free
Don't worry about me
And just like the movies
We play out our last scene
You won't cry, I won't scream
[Bridge]
In our short years, we come long way
To treat it bad and throw away
And if we make a little space
A science-fiction showcase
In our short film, a love disgrace
Dream a scene to brighten face
In our short years we come long way
To treat it bad, just to throw it away
[Chorus]
I want you to be free
Don't worry about me
And just like the movies
We play out our last scene
You won't cry, I won't scream
