Matinee - Damien Jurado

We all cried at the ending

We all stayed for the credits

And I kept my ticket as a souvenir

We found our way by the usher’s light

To the place outside where we parked the bikes

Underneath a neon sign

Matinee, hey hey, why go late

When the movies are cheaper during the day

We come down about twice a week

To put our feet on the theater seats

Admission’s cheap and the soda’s free

Well, my best friend’s girl works the ticket stand

When the boss is gone, she gets us in We all see a matinee

Matinee, hey hey, why go late

When the movies are cheaper during the day

We all cried at the ending

We all stayed for the credits

And I kept my ticket as a souvenir

O, my best friend’s girl works the ticket stand

When the boss is gone, she gets us in We all see a matinee

Matinee, hey hey, why go late

When the movies are cheaper during the day

Matinee, hey hey, why go late

When the movies are cheaper during the day
