only takes a little bit of a gleam or a glimmer
only just a little bit of a shake or a shiver
and nothing never matters 'til it's shattered
smothered and covered splattered all over manhattan
and it's sha, sha, sha sha sha-doobie
sometimes it's really just like the movies
it was a glimpse a little bit of nothing make a difference
and nothing's been the same since the chain of events
it's the place where dreams come true
but dreams can still be nightmares too
and it's sha, sha, sha sha whoa whoa
so much it's close enough for rock 'n roll
should've known the world was cold, next time you'll make a sweater
poets from the days of old have never said it better
sometimes it really glitters and sometimes it's even gold
but baby when it isn't then it must be rock 'n roll
and it's sha, sha, sha sha sha-doobie
sometimes it's really just like the movies
and it's sha, sha, sha sha sha-doobie
sometimes you just stay home and watch movies
