Glamour and Pain Lyrics by Joe Jackson

Night and Day II

0

[Verse 1]
I've 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 again
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]
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]
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]
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]
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]
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]
See me fly
Feel my pain
Hear me cry
Know my name
Glamour and pain
