The Extra Sees the Film

There's a soft opening, she'll be there if you wanna stop by Flirting with the human scorpion jacket from Drive He's a haircut aiming a jar of gin And he talks about Los Angeles, that's a cue for you to jump in "Excuse me, I couldn't help overhear you mention LA See, I was there for Kobe Bryant's last NBA game It was five or six years ago back when there were no guarantees And it was on the TV at a bar somewhere in, I think, Los Feliz" Making friends Making plans to pull someone out of a crowd Out of a crowd Yeah, out of the crowd and into his spotlight The extra sees the film and totally collapses The extra sees the film with Bette Davis Eyes As if I had a way to move us all forward If I had a way to put us all back on pace We could make out, headlights in the ditch off the road Crying blue light and buried under falling snow We were on our way from Fredericton to Charlottetown for the show Now we're stomping and kicking in three or four feet of snow Dancing to discover a body in our boots Stetson hats and rhinestone Nudie suits Yeah, we might have to cut a few half-finished new songs There's only 25 more minutes until we go on It's probably fine They're probably fine, they were picked up and taken back home Taken home Calling friends, "hey, I'm gonna be on TV" The extra sees the film and covers up his name badge The extra sees the film and has to call his mom As if I had a way to move us all forward If I had a way to put everything back on pace
