Auteurs – Underground Movies lyrics

We first met, it was raining
In a house with bay windows
And all the fittings and fixtures
And a catalogue of injury

She's got a credo in underground movies
Her father is a lawyer
Who paid for the fittings and fixtures
And a house with bay windows

And I'm calling from a Baltimore hotel
Don't let it ring again
Your movies are your own
You're on a limb again

Calling from a Baltimore hotel
Don't let it ring again
Your movies are all your own
Don't let him in again

Four weeks later in April
I took her to the doctors
Said, "I've no prescription
For compromised solution"

And I'm calling from a Baltimore hotel
Don't let it ring again
Your movies are your own
You're on a limb again

Calling from a Baltimore hotel
Don't let it ring again
Your movies are all your own
Don't let him in again
In again

Ten years caught in a trap
By my own cunning
Thought I was smart
Thought I was dying

For years I lived in a flat
Without water running
Thought it was smart
Thought it was funny

I'm writing her memoirs
The underground press remain faithful
Ghost writing her memoirs
Maybe we'll get it on cable

And I'm calling from a Baltimore hotel
Don't let it ring again
Your movies are your own
You're on a limb again

Calling from a Baltimore hotel
Don't let it ring again
Your movies are all your own
Don't let him in again
In again
