[Intro]
Get the need, get it
Get the need, get it
Get the need

I'm in the movies
I'm in the movies
I'm in the movies
Get the need, get it
Get the need, get it
I'm in the movies
Get the need, get it
Get the need, get it

[Verse 1]
Hello young thing
I'm an old film star
Maybe you've seen my picture
(I'm in the movies)
I need it
Like an old newsreel
I'm just fading away
(I'm in the movies)
Bang bang, dear
I've got the needles
And I've got the need
If you'd be so kind

[Chorus]
Come on and feel the need in me
Come on and feel the need
Come on and feel the need in me
Feel it!

[Refrain]
I'm in the movies
I'm in the movies
I'm in the movies
Get the need, get it
Get the need, get it
I'm in the movies
Get the need, get it
Get the need, get it

[Chorus]
Come on and feel the need in me
Come on and feel the need
Come on and feel the need in me
Feel it!

[Verse 2]
Hello young thing
I've got reverse instructions
In the back of my car
(I'm in the movies)
I need it
Don't cry till this thing is over
And my friends applaud
(I'm in the movies)
Bang bang dear
When can we do this again
And put it all on film
(I'm in the movies)

[Pre-Chorus]
Get the need, get it
Get the need, get it
I'm in the movies
Get the need, get it
Get the need get it

[Chorus]
Come on and feel the need in me
Come on and feel the need
Come on and feel the need in me
Feel it!

[Verse 3]
Hello young love
I've got something to show you
And please don't be ashamed
(I'm in the movies)
I'm the man
I'm the atrocity film star
And I've got the need

[Bridge]
I'm in the movies
I'm in the movies
I'm in the movies
I'm in the movies
I'm in the movies
I'm in the movies
I'm in the movies
Get the need, get it
Get the need, get it
I'm in the movies
Get the need, get it
Get the need, get it

[Verse 3 repeated]
Hello young love
I've got something to show you
And please don't be ashamed
(I'm in the movies)
I'm the man
I'm the atrocity film star
And I've got the need

[Pre-Chorus]
Get the need, get it
Get the need, get it
I'm in the movies
Get the need, get it
Get the need, get it

[Chorus]
Come on and feel the need in me
Come on and feel the need
Come on and feel the need in me
Feel it!
Come on and feel the need in me
Come on and feel the need
Come on and feel the need in me
Feel it!
