lyrics

White paper leaves
Scattered across the Ventura Freeway
She’d bet her last cent
That this had been someone’s unsold screenplay
Violent and crass
Filled in with underdeveloped clichés
She’d written one, too
And now she was driving it out of LA
Her modern romance
Written entirely on spec
She thought it might sell
But what she really wants to do is direct
Live and direct
She ditches the car
She breaks the heels off of both of her shoes
This credit card
Can’t take too much more abuse
Hikes to a hotel
Checks in and opens a tab at the bar
She opens the script
But he catches her eye before she gets too far
This tired hotel
This low desert town
Her modern romance
Nothing but fury and sound
Live and direct
He can’t keep it up
She can’t keep it down
Dreams and hotels
Burn them all down to the ground
She turns on the light
She sees the script lying there on the floor
Goes back to the bar
Where she sits lighting matches and being ignored
She holds the flame to Scene One
And she lights it and thinks what the hell
She couldn’t care less
If this blaze gutted this whole damn hotel
Her modern romance
Written entirely on spec
She thought it might sell
But what she really wants to do is direct
Live and direct
