[VERSE]
Neon lights adorn the walls
Posters plastered down the halls
The theater is a home I never left
Entire lives performed for me
Played out on the silver screen
I’m terrified that one day I’ll forget

[CHORUS]
Young man, could I have one ticket, please?
Young man, do you remember me?
They used to play my movies here
But now that life has disappeared
I want to see a film tonight
But I can’t recall the times

[VERSE]
When I was a boy I’d dream
Of seeing my own name onscreen
Inspiring someone else to try
I’ve sat in the director’s chair
And I’ve kissed Judy Garland’s hair
The memories are fleeing from my mind

[CHORUS]
Young man, who do you want to be?
Young man, please, humor me
They used to play my movies here
But now that life has disappeared
I want to see a film tonight
But I can’t recall the times

[VERSE]
I’m not scared of death I think
It’s the damn remembering
Knowing that I used to do it well
What if one day I should view
A film that I made in my youth?
What if I don’t recognize myself?

[CHORUS]
Young man, could I have one ticket, please?
I don't care, I'll watch anything
They used to play my movies here
But now those times have disappeared
I want to see a film tonight
Before I lose my mind
I need to see a film tonight
Before I lose my mind.
