Celebrity Death

[00:20.57] Your baby and wife took a walk on the beach on a Saturday
[00:26.45] By Monday, pictures dressed in bold font
[00:30.47] The only thing that inspired you was the everyday
[00:34.67] And that's the only thing that they didn't want
[00:38.97] The green light's your way; who does it illuminate?
[00:43.84] How many men reside in your face?
[00:46.85] And which one got everything you wanted?
[00:50.41] When all the world's a stage
[00:52.98] Does everything seem worthless and fake?
[00:56.66] 'Cause I've seen you live so many lives.
[01:01.58] Oh, adopted a guise that put you
[01:05.74] Under these lights, what a cruel design
[01:09.25] That I saw you more than most of my friends
[01:12.56] Now tears roll down cheeks from eyes of suspended disbelief
[01:18.15] To watch a special news bulletin
[01:21.76] Saying, "I've seen you live so many lives.
[01:27.55] Oh what's one more?
[01:31.34] Why won't you rise from the grave like you done before?"
[01:37.64] 'Cause they only wanted to see if
[01:41.96] Your eyes shine like in the films of you
[01:46.55] 'Cause they only want to believe that they knew you well themselves
[01:54.46] Oh but of course they don't look like that
[01:59.12] That took seven hours of make-up and a special lens cap
[02:04.43] Oh...
[02:11.27] Confidants' confidence dies, tongues cluck and tears dry
[02:16.28] How are you surprised?
[02:19.31] That nameless sadness lives for all time
[02:22.44] 'Cause drinks don't stay cold and smoke leaves
[02:25.43] Ash like a soul and clouds all the voices of safety
[02:30.34] I thought for a moment, yeah, maybe I was alone
[02:35.30] Just to feel an ounce of regret
[02:39.57] But that didn't occur once to the lunch ladies
[02:44.55] They had a cup of tea and a cigarette
[02:50.36] They didn't waste any precious time saying kind things
[02:57.33] 'Cause the whole appeal is to rely on the face of things
[03:04.15] 'Cause they only wanted to see if
[03:08.75] Your eyes shine like in the films of you
[03:13.31] 'Cause they only want to believe that they knew you well themselves
[03:21.12] Oh but of course they don't look like that
[03:25.53] That took seven hours of make-up and a special lens cap
[03:30.45] On some days it's hard to remember that
[03:34.44] Even for you
[03:37.04] I hope you rest well
[03:45.39] Oh...
[04:04.12] Yeah, some days it's hard to remember that
[04:09.33] But I hope you rest well
[04:13.67]
