The Movie in My Mind (Live West End Revival)

by Rachelle Ann Go

[Gigi]
They are not nice they're mostly noise
They swear like men, they screw like boys
I know there's nothing in their hearts
But every time I take one in my arms
It starts:

The movie in my mind
The dream they leave behind
A scene I can't erase
And in a strong GI's embrace
Flee this life
Flee this place

[Gigi]
The movie plays and plays
I'll find my true romance
He takes me to a place
Where I don't have to dance

Our children laugh all day
But all that I've been through
Can't make my dream come true
Dream
The dream I long to find
The movie in my mind

[Kim]
I will not cry, I will not think
I'll do my dance, I'll make them drink
When I make love, it won't be me
And if they hurt me, I'll just close my eyes

[Kim]
Who'll fight for me instead
He'll keep the fear at bay
So no one comes at night
To blow the dream away
Dream
The dream I have to find
The movie in my mind

[All Girls]
And in a strong GI's embrace
Flee this life
Flee this place

[Kim]
A world that's far away
Where life is not unkind
The movie in my mind

[Engineer, spoken]
Allez! Allez!
Get back to work, now!
