You feel drunk, but you're not drinking
Your head's all turned around
We're only living for the weekend
We come alive when the sun goes down
We only want to get high, when we feel so low
Lights set the scene, camera, action now you're free
I think you're ready for the show
Why you gotta be so venomous
Thought that you'd be over this
Wasn't a perfect picture, and now we're just Reel to Reel
Our love wasn't in the cards
Life's a flash and movie stars
Wasn't our best feature, and now we're just Reel to Reel
It's an Affair to Remember, who says you can't sleep around
I'll love you till the 12th of never
But only if you show me how to get down
We only want to get high, when we feel so low
Lights set the scene, camera, action now you're free
I think you're ready for the show
Why you gotta be so venomous
Thought that you'd be over this
Wasn't a perfect picture, and now we're just Reel to Reel
Our love wasn't in the cards
Life's a flash and movie stars
Wasn't our best feature, and now we're just Reel to Reel
Why you gotta be so venomous
Thought that you'd be over this
Wasn't a perfect picture, and now we're just Reel to Reel
Our love wasn't in the cards
Life's a flash and movie stars
Wasn't our best feature, and now we're just Reel to Reel
Why you gotta be so venomous
Thought that you'd be over this
Wasn't a perfect picture, and now we're just Reel to Reel
Our love wasn't in the cards
Life's a flash and movie stars
Wasn't our best feature, and now we're just Reel to Reel
Now we're just Reel to Reel

"Beatnik" originated as a term to describe the Beat Generation; a bygone era made up of young artists and poets staking
their claim in a brand-new world. Inspired by the bold and prevalent artists of the Beat Generation, Beatnik attempts to recreate the feelings and ruminations of that creative period.
Welcome to the new Beat Generation
