We'll hurl my biography
into this whirling pool
see
which way the blue ink runs
on an ocean of lenses
I'm drifting like a fool
smouldering
focus of those instant suns
And all of these
cause and effect motion
pictures
impossible to avoid
a single image of me
it's living
on a whole
subcontinent of celluloid
You'll like me
you're like me
you'll recognise my
name
you'll like me
you're like me
have a picture of me
pointing out of
frame
now go ...
The magnifying circus
the magnifying circus
a wealth of detail
is going cheap
cause and error
trial and effect
isn't it enough to put you all to
sleep?
But my likeness
it's to your liking
so I won't stay away
I'll be back
long before you know it
to dazzle you again
I daresay
You'll like me
you're
like me
you'll turn the page and watch
your kids are eating effigies of me
fluorescent
butterscotch
There's a shimmering lake of real lives
it's a backdrop
it's an
afterthought
tell rite, will there be a dressing room
and will there be shadows at the
airport?
This set is hotter than the Holy Land
it all beats down from above
long
golden weeks of close-ups
cool and convincing shows of love
You'll like me
you're
like me
you'll recognise my name
you'll like me
you're like me
have a picture of
me
pointing out of frame
You'll like me
you're like me
you'll turn the page and
watch
your kids are eating effigies of me
fluorescent butterscotch
