lyrics

I have to admit I'm a little sick in the head,
And some of these lines make me a little bit nervous, a little bit nervous.
I have a scene where I have to pretend that I'm dead.
It makes my mom and dad a little bit nervous, a little bit nervous.

And I thought there would be a better plot--
One with twists and turns that really brought me to my knees, and
I got a girl who kisses the beer from my lips,
And when she yells, it's better than fiction, better than fiction.

And we don't take direction very well,
But we know how to show and not to tell,
But we don't write things down.

I haven't read much of what the critics have said.
It makes my manager a little bit nervous, a little bit nervous.
The leading guy likes to bring his dog to the set.
The way they play makes me a little bit nervous, a little bit nervous.

And I thought there would be a better plot--
One with twists and turns that really got me to my knees, and
I got a girl who eats watermelon in bed,
And when she yells, it's better than fiction, better than fiction.

And exposition's never done too well,
But we know how to show and not to tell,
And I got a girl who kisses the beer from my lips,
And when she yells, it's better than fiction, better than fiction.
