Silence in the darkness of the theatre,
Everyone's watching your mouth move.
When did you disappear?
Speak in a whisper, "I knew her once, before she was here..."
All of the make-up and lights that seems to follow you 'round,
Can't make you happier then before you entered this town.
i know you long ago, how quickly the world disappeared,
Oh I wish it was last year.
Remember the days when a photograph was a photograph?
Not a piece of production to increase the suction of age-demo graphs.
I remember a scene where your face could be seen in person not magazines,
Am I wrong to miss you? Am I being Naive?
All of the make-up and lights that seems to follow you 'round,
Can't make you happier than before you entered this town.
i know you long ago, how quickly the world disappeared,
Oh I wish it was last year.
