Joe Jackson - Glamour & Pain lyrics
Your rating:
I've had that dream again Where I'm flying thirty feet Above the street again Looking though windows, there you are Sit down to eat again It's the usual egg foo yung You watch tv again Put the kids to bed And then I see you reaching for my number Then I hate you even more I see it all But no one sees me fly - no-one feels my pain No-one hears me cry - no-one knows my name Is glamour and pain - glamour and pain Do you remember me Or just the shiny shiny shoes I had you kiss for me? And my legs as smooth as chrome Were you in ecstasy As you were pumping out a flood of dollar bills for me I'd cry mascara tears If only I could give a fuck about it And though you can't recall I see it all But no one sees me fly - no-one feels my pain No-one hears me cry - no-one knows my name Is glamour and pain - glamour and pain I'm hanging in the air I look in your window at my own lipstick reflection there And behind it such a precious son et lumière Of all the normal stuff about which I'm supposed to care I'd like to smash right through And help myself to your silverware To cut your throat and run Or maybe I'd just laugh at your expression Hooray for superwhore I see it all But no one sees me fly - no-one feels my pain No-one hears me cry - no-one knows my name Is glamour and pain - glamour and pain See me fly - feel my pain Hear me cry - know my name Glamour and pain
