They Go to Movies

He's home on time again
The working man
He shuffles in, another day
They push some food around
Without a sound
She tells him all about her day

Nothin' to live for, nothin' to see
No one to talk to, no one to be
Nothin' but a couple on the silent screen
They go to movies
They go to movies

He dreams of suntanned girls
With no brassieres
He has a beer and it's 8:15
She's at the makeup mirror
And Robert Redford's waiting
So it's time to leave

Nothin' to live for, nothin' to see
No one to talk to, no one to be
Nothin' but a couple on the silent screen
They go to movies
They go to movies

Oh, watching the good life
They start to forget about
The nine to five, the stay alive
The love that died
Oh, watchin' the good life
Watchin' the movies, yeah
Watchin' the movies

And now they're home again
But the place has changed
And the names have changed
And it's curtain time
She pours a couple drinks
He dims the lights
Now they cling like perfect strangers
In the night

Somethin' to live for, somethin' to see
Someone to talk to, someone to be
Just like a couple on the technicolor screen
They go to movies
They go to movies
They go to movies
They go to movies
