When footlightsAm G/E dim in reverence Am G/E to prescient passion Am G/E Forewarned,Am G/E my audience leaves the stage Am G/E Floating aheAmad G/Eperfumed shift Within the sAmtamG/Emering silence The fAmace that lauG/Enched a thousand frames Betrayed Am G/E by a porcelain tear,Am G/E a stained career Am G/E
[Interlude] Am G/E Am G/E [Verse 2]
You played Am G/E this scene beforeAm, G/E you played Am G/E this scene before Am/G I the Ammote inG/E your eye, I the Ammote in G/Eyour eye A misplaced reaction Am G/E Am G/E

The Amdarkroom unleashes imagination in pornographic Bmimages In which you will always be the star (always be the star) EmUntouchable, unapproachable, Amconstant in the darkness BmNursing an erection, a misplaced reaction With no Emflower to place before this gravestone And the Amwalls become enticingly newspaper thin But Bmthat would only be developing the negative view And you Emhave to be exposed in voyeuristic colour The Ampublic act, let you model your shame On the mannequin catwalk, Bmcatwalk Let the cats walk, and the Emcat walks
[Interlude] Am G/E Am G/E [Verse 3]

You can't Embrush me under the Dcarpet, you can't Dhide me under the Astairs The cusEmtodian of your Dprivate fears, your leading actor of Ayesteryear EmWho as you crawled out of the Dalleys of obscurity Sentenced to rejection in the Amorass of anonymity EmYou who I directed with Dlovers will, you who I let hypnotise the Alens EmYou who I let bathe in the Dspotlights glare You who wiped me Afrom your memory like a Emgreasepaint mask D Just like a greasepaint mask A
