Shadow Play lyrics

I can feel it in the air

I can feel it young and strong

Like an intoxicating dare

For some residue of joy

Simple pleasures and delights

Would you buy that ruthless ploy

Would you buy that ploy?

Mark my words

It's not quite what you thought

Shadow play

Directed by you

Love portrays Ms. Take

The Oscar goes to hate

Dragons slain

The princess rescued

It's all what you create

Your shadows will be played

And here now comes the sweet caress

Unreality to guide us

With a forceful righteousness

And you can taste the kiss of death

More divine than breath I know

Always just the right address

Just the right caress

Mark my words

It's not quite what you thought

Shadow play

Directed by you

Love portrays Ms. Take

The Oscar goes to hate

Dragons slain

The princess rescued

It's all what you create

Your shadows will be played

So this is what you think you need

To play the game

A pretty royal flush

Of second hand fame

For proof of excellence

For critical acclaim

Aloof preeminence

Preceding your pen name

Clichés of violence

And off mark blame

Some character flaws

To masticate the shame

Sex in a dress in a wide array

Sex in a suit, hello, happy birthday

Mark my words

It's never what you thought

Shadow play

Directed by you

Love portrays Ms. Take

The Oscar goes to hate

Dragons slain

The princess rescued

It's all what you create

Your shadows will be played

It's all what you create

Your shadows will be played
