Juliana Hatfield You Are the Camera lyrics

Wake up naked stretch like a panther
Throw off the covers run to the mirror, my lover
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 rays photo
This is a scene we are improvising me

You are the camera, you try to seduce me
You are the camera, you love me I make love to you
You are the camera

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 know you to read


You are the camera, a reason for living
You are the camera, I need you to need me
(To justify my life)
You are the camera

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, a reason for living
You are the camera, in the presence of greatness
(See you there)
You are the camera, I disappear what you're not here
You are the camera
