Lyrics for Motion Pictures (For Carrie)

Motion pictures On my TV screen, A home away from home, Livin' in between But I hear some people Have got their dream. I've got mine. I hear the mountains Are doin' fine, Mornin' glory Is on the vine, And the dew is fallin', The ducks are callin'. Yes, I've got mine. Well, all those people, They think They got it made But I wouldn't buy, Sell, borrow or trade Anything I have To be like one of them. I'd rather Start all over again. Well, all those headlines, They just bore me now I'm deep inside myself, But I'll get out somehow, And I'll stand before you, And I'll bring A smile to your eyes. Motion pictures, Motion pictures.
