Celebrity — текст песни (Luxuria)

I turned to her and I said



Well hurl my biography

Into this whirling pool

See which way the blue ink runs

On an ocean of lenses

Im drifting like a fool

Smouldering focus of those instant suns



And all of these

Cause and effect motion pictures

Impossible to avoid

A single image of me

Its living

On a whole subcontinent of celluloid



Youll like me

Youre like me

Youll recognise my name

Youll like me

Youre like me

Have a picture of me

Pointing out of frame

Now go ...



The magnifying circus

The magnifying circus

A wealth of detail is going cheap

Cause and error

Trial and effect

Isnt it enough to put you all to sleep?



But my likeness

Its to your liking

So I wont stay away

Ill be back long before you know it

To dazzle you again

I daresay



Youll like me

Youre like me

Youll turn the page and watch

Your kids are eating effigies of me

Fluorescent butterscotch



Theres a shimmering lake of real lives

Its a backdrop

Its an afterthought

Tell rite, will there be a dressing room

And will there be shadows at the airport?



This set is hotter than the holy land

It all beats down from above

Long golden weeks of close-ups

Cool and convincing shows of love



Youll like me

Youre like me

Youll recognise my name

Youll like me

Youre like me

Have a picture of me

Pointing out of frame



Youll like me

Youre like me

Youll turn the page and watch

Your kids are eating effigies of me

Fluorescent butterscotch



If one life has been saved

By this photography session

It has been worth it
