Lyrics:
In your hands there's a photograph You look up, she begins to laugh So cold as she walks away And you know that it's time to pay You're caught in a web you spun yourself Face to face with your failure this very day You call out her name you can't help yourself But you need love like you need a - kick in the head You worked hard for the things you own Fancy cars and a country home Gave it all for a glittering prize To be a face people recognise On the walls of your home there are works of art But you stare at the picture - on the floor The face of a man with an aching heart It's no fun to be famous anymore (you said) This is a sad day And I would gladly give it all away In exchange For a floating life Shed your tears for a shallow dream Let your cry be a primal scream A song through the mists of time A serenade to your concubine You were wrong to believe she could set you free You're trapped by the trappings - of success And you know the she'll never let you be 'til the world knows the secrets - you confessed (you said) I see her cruel face My heart is nothing but an empty space And on this sad day I would gladly give it all away In exchange For a floating life Neither asleep nor awake Losing control you start to shake As the day begins to break They're gonna shoot you down in flames When that girl starts naming names There's nowhere to hide from your shame
