Fiction of a Real Life

©2017 J Oscar Bittinger

VERSE 1
Everybody knows something you don’t know
Everybody’s been places – where you won’t go
Dream up drama ‘bout people in a
Café line
Create a Fiction from a Real Life

VERSE 2
You imagine passion in thigh-high stockings
Sitting in an office it’s just the – clock that’s watching
Between rumor and headline
True stories lie
Just like the Fiction of a Real Life

INSTRUMENTAL (verse chords)

BRIDGE:
Your favorite seasons are spring and fall
Throw the windows open
To the thrill of it all
Brush out your curls in a room of
Black and white tile
You’re only staying there awhile

VERSE 3
They’re making movies on the next street down
You watch the watchful cop cars cruising around
Who plays part of the lover of the unloved wife
In this Fiction of a Real Life
You could script it if they like
A Fiction of a Real Life

Everybody knows something you don’t know
Everybody’s been places – where you won’t go
