Celebrity lyrics

I turned to her and I said

We`ll hurl my biography
into this whirling pool
see which way the blue ink runs
on an ocean of lenses
I`m 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
it`s living
on a whole subcontinent of celluloid

You`ll like me
you`re like me
you`ll recognise my name
you`ll like me
you`re 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
isn`t it enough to put you all to sleep?

But my likeness
it`s to your liking
so I won`t stay away
I`ll be back long before you know it
to dazzle you again
I daresay

You`ll like me
you`re like me
you`ll turn the page and watch
your kids are eating effigies of me
fluorescent butterscotch

There`s a shimmering lake of real lives
it`s a backdrop
it`s 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

You`ll like me
you`re like me
you`ll recognise my name
you`ll like me
you`re like me
have a picture of me
pointing out of frame

You`ll like me
you`re like me
you`ll turn the page and watch
your kids are eating effigies of me
fluorescent butterscotch

If one life has been saved
