Clark Gable
Lyrics
I was waiting for a cross-town train
In the London underground when it struck me
That I've been waiting since birth to find a love
That would look and sound like a movie

And I want life in every word
"I need you to pretend that we are in love again"
There is truth, that love is real
I know you're wise beyond your years
To the extent that it's absurd
"Quiet on the set" and then called "Action"
So I changed my plans, I rented a camera
That would look and sound like a movie
Using a friend as my stand-in
(I thought it classic)
The marker snapped and I yelled
Publishers: DYING SONGS, WHERE I'M CALLING FROM MUSIC
I was waiting for a cross-town train
I want so badly to believe that
That Clark Gable would have admired
To help you get by?
And you agreed to
I want so badly to believe that
I greased the lens and framed the shot
But it was clear that day so we faked it
And a van and then I called you
That I've been waiting since birth to find a love
To the extent that it's absurd
In the London underground when it struck me
Your perfect verse is just a lie you tell yourself
And I kissed you in a style
There is truth, that love is real
And I want life in every word
The script it called for rain
But do you ever get the feel that
