"Chris Chambers" lyrics

"Chris Chambers"

It sickens me to see
Photograph in front of me
Carnation-colored pink
Stand aside and take a drink
Night club, another scene
31st, it's Halloween
Slave to each new trend
Uptown junkies, push again

The lovers and the wannabes
(They don't know how)
The radios and TVs
(They don't know how)
Newspaper story reads
(They don't know how)
Cheap girl magazine
(They don't know how)

Stand aside and cry
And never wonder why
Ask themselves why
The river has dried

Laughter after three
Shaped up to be free
Number one the most missed chart
Must have broke a thousand hearts
Parallel with the scene
Tarnished star evergreen
Live life disguised

The lovers and the wannabes
(They don't know how)
The radio and TV
(They don't know how)
Newspaper story reads
(They don't know how)
Cheap girl magazine
(They don't know how)

Stand around and cry
Never wonder why
Ask themselves why
The river has dried
