"Camera" lyrics
(originally by R.E.M.)
In the corporate land
In the offices of double-digit floors
Eyes on a wayward move
It's a shame you never played
Never learned no way to remind you
I've gotta remember
Do you remember my trust lost?
Descending from a crowd
And all the city streets are loud
You were born to be a camera
A pocket of memories
An installation set up on your bedroom floor
Makes you sing about the photographs before
Before you run off to the lazy store
Run back there ask for more
Ascending from a crowd
These city streets they are too loud
You were born to be a camera
And all the flutters shut
In the offices of double-digit floors
Eyes on a wayward move
It's a shame you never played
Never learned no way to remind you
I've gotta remember
Do you remember my trust lost?
Descending from a crowd
And all the city streets are loud
You were born to be a camera
A pocket of memories
An installation set up on your bedroom floor
Makes you sing about the photographs before
Before you run off to the lazy store
Run back there ask for more
Ascending from a crowd
These city streets they are too loud
You were born to be a camera
And all the flutters shut
