Cinema Star
I found a panel in the armoireBeneath the TV was a secret doorThere was a ladder down to a tunnelAnd I was walking underneath my floorI walked for miles in the darknessUntil I popped up in my local gymThe lights were bright for working outAnd then I saw you, you were talking to himBut he was talking to meWhile he was looking at youAnd he was mouthing his words to meI'm just a kind of cinema starJust not the kind you thinkAnd though my scenes deliverNow my ship is beginning to sinkI put my love into every partAnd have you ever seenThe arrows from my quiverPiercing the golden queen?Back in the tunnel I heard the voicesComing down from yesterdayI drank my bottle of sugar waterAnd headed out through the city's decayFell through a vent in a warehouseSongtexteLanded on a Van Nuys sound stageYou helped me, you in your glassesA cold, naked California sageAnd though I knew it was youIt was so hard to believeThe written words that you spoke were trueI'm just a kind of cinema starJust not the kind you thinkAnd though my scenes deliverNow my ship is beginning to sinkI put my love into every partAnd have you ever seenMy body start to shiverWhen I fill up your TV screen?
