[length: 05:05]
[00:43.56]In your hands there’s a photograph
[00:47.13]You look up, she begins to laugh
[00:50.44]So cold as she walks away
[00:53.95]And you know that it’s time to pay
[00:57.51]You’re caught in a web you spun yourself
[01:00.71]Face to face with your failure this very day
[01:04.44]You call out her name you can’t help yourself
[01:07.91]But you need love like you need a – kick in the head
[01:11.35]You worked hard for the things you own
[01:14.93]Fancy cars and a country home
[01:18.58]Gave it all for a glittering prize
[01:22.21]To be a face people recognise
[01:25.63]On the walls of your home there are works of art
[01:28.93]But you stare at the picture – on the floor
[01:32.63]The face of a man with an aching heart
[01:36.12]It’s no fun to be famous anymore
[01:39.44](you said)
[01:42.19]This is a sad day
[01:45.70]And I would gladly give it all away
[01:50.99]In exchange
[01:53.19]For a floating life
[02:07.65]Shed your tears for a shallow dream
[02:11.44]Let your cry be a primal scream
[02:14.99]A song through the mists of time
[02:18.54]A serenade to your concubine
[02:22.01]You were wrong to believe she could set you free
[02:25.40]You’re trapped by the trappings – of success
[02:29.05]And you know the she’ll never let you be
[02:32.53]’til the world knows the secrets – you confessed
[02:35.83](you said)
[02:38.65]I see her cruel face
[02:42.19]My heart is nothing but an empty space
[02:52.84]And on this sad day
[02:56.58]I would gladly give it all away
[03:01.95]In exchange
[03:03.54]For a floating life
[03:12.99]Neither asleep nor awake
[03:16.59]Losing control you start to shake
[03:19.95]As the day begins to break
[03:27.24]They’re gonna shoot you down in flames
[03:30.61]When that girl starts naming names
[03:34.54]There’s nowhere to hide from your shame
