Glamour and Pain (Live)

Lyrics

[Intro: Joe Jackson] Okay, this is another song from Night and Day II It's got kind of a disco thing to it This is sung on the album by Dale DeVere, a drag queen She's not here, either But we, we're gonna do a double gender fuck on you This is gonna be sung by our drag king, Allison Cornell This is called "Glamour and Pain" [Verse 1: Allison Cornell] I 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 and then Put the kids to bed And then I see you reaching for my number Then I hate you even more I see it all [Chorus: Allison Cornell] 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 [Verse 2: Allison Cornell] 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 [Chorus: Allison Cornell] 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 [Verse 3: Allison Cornell] 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 [Chorus: Allison Cornell] 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 [Outro: Allison Cornell] See me fly Feel my pain Hear me cry Know my name Is glamour and pain
