I see you in the movies, it almost made me smile You are looking groovy, you think that you have style Sun-tanned in the lights you bask, your smile is just a plastic mask Rows of teeth are so sincere, your image is painfully clear But to me you're like a window, and I say that not to hurt Somehow we are so shallow, from birth to dust and dirt We can't implement our words, contradictions so absurd We think we are what we appear, running from our petty fear Oh - oh - oh, oh - oh - oh, oh - oh - oh, oh - oh - oh Oh - oh - oh, oh - oh - oh, oh - oh - oh |
