Damien Jurado Matinee lyrics

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?

Mmm

We all cried at the ending
We all stayed for the credits
And I kept my ticket as a souvenir

Oh, 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 movie is cheaper during the day?

Matinee, hey, hey, why go late
When the movies are cheaper during the day?
