The Divine Comedy Absolute Power lyrics

You don't remember, you don't recall
The night we met or what I was called
You're really sorry for losing touch
Your memory fails you far too much

Don't say you'll take me some place to eat
Don't make a promise you'll never keep
Don't say your number's not yours to give
Don't tell me, I know how it is

But hey, it's okay, it's alright
'Cause you are a star tonight
You've got a hot date
So sleep tight with your guitar tonight

You say you're so tired of this life
Well, get in your car and drive
With all the cameras
And the headlines

Screaming, you are a star tonight
With absolute power tonight
And absolute power corrupts
Absolutely

Fame has no color, fame has no form

Fame cannot shelter you from the storm
Fame casts no shadow, fame makes no sound
Fame leaves no footprints in the ground

Fame can't create you, fame cannot kill
Fame doesn't love you, fame never will
Fame won't be there to kiss you goodnight
Fame doesn't care if you live or you die

But hey, it's okay, it's all right
'Cause you are a star tonight
You've got a hot date
So sleep tight with your guitar tonight

You say you're so tired of this life
Well, get in your car and drive
With all the cameras
And the headlines

Screaming, you are a star tonight
With absolute power tonight
And absolute power corrupts
Absolutely, absolutely, absolutely
