It was on top of the hill
But they pulled it down for offices and homes
And it's funny how time changes things
Back then that was set in stone
But even stone has to change
My friends and I would go there
As many times as we could afford to go
But when I look there now
Those memories just linger like a ghost
One last picture show
One last picture show
That's where the memories go
Oh the old picture show
I remember sneaking in through a fire door
When a friend would let us in
And then hiding under seats until the film would start again
But even friends have to change
My friends and I would go there
As many times as we could afford to go
But when I look there now
Those memories just linger like a ghost
Where we are now is it less real somehow
Than when our dreams were played out
Scene by scene
Or did they die with Pearl & Dean
For the Dolby multiscreen?
Take me back...
To one last picture show
One last picture show
That's where the memories go
Oh the old picture show
Underneath the velvet seats
With the ticket stubs and the penny sweets
The Kia-Ora stained carpet
And the Playtime popcorn cartons under feet
