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 theatre seats
admission's cheap & the soda's free

well, my best friend's girl works the ticketstand
when the boss is gone, she gets us in
we all see a matinee
