You Are The Camera

Wake up naked

Stretch like a panther

Throw off the covers

Run to the mirror

My love

Admire this face

It could help to save the world

This body must be seen to be believed

My back and torso like a man ray photo

This is a scene

We are improvising me



You are the camera

You try to seduce me

You love me

I make love to you



I practice different smiles

I rehearse different lines

like the perfect comeback or an eloquent speech

Let's take a walk on the street

(on the stage)

Don't say anything

Just follow me

Don't leave

Save me for posterity

What do I want to be seen buying?

I write in my diary only what I want you to read



You are the camera

A reason for living

I need you to need me

I need you to justify me life



We sit down on the couch

On the left or on the right?

What is my good side?

Come in for a close-up

Fresh breath

Perfect makeup

Are we gonna kiss on the mouth like I read about?

I look right at you and see myself

and I'm in love



You are the camera

In the presence of greatness

I disappear when you're not here
