I Am a Photograph

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I am a glossy photograph I am in color and softly lit Overexposed and well blown up Carefully printed and neatly cut You can look at me for hours I won't mind, I'll let you dream From the page of a magazine [Verse 2] I am a glossy photograph Of course I am a bit retouched And my color has been processed But cameras always erase Fear lurking behind a face I am a lie and I am gold But I shall never grow old [Verse 3] My lips are parted But they're not for kissing My eyes are open But I'm not listening My breasts are round But my heart is missing I'm a photograph, I'm a photograph I'm better than the real thing [Verse 4] I am a glossy photograph I am appearing by the magic Of a Nikon Automatic Maybe I'm just a piece of paper But some think that I am better Cause photographs do not complain Or cry, or love, or suffer Or cry, or love, or suffer Or cry, or love, or suffer
