Joe Jackson - Glamour And Pain lyrics

I've had that dream again

Where I'm flying thirty feet

Above the street again

Looking though windows, there you are

Sit down to eat again

It's the usual egg foo yung

You watch TV again

Put the kids to bed

And then I see you reaching for my number

Then I hate you even more

I see it all

But no one sees me fly - no-one feels my pain

No-one hears me cry - no-one knows my name

Is glamour and pain - glamour and pain

Do you remember me

Or just the shiny shiny shoes I had you kiss for me?

And my legs as smooth as chrome

Were you in ecstasy

As you were pumping out a flood of dollar bills for me

I'd cry mascara tears

If only I could give a fuck about it

And though you can't recall

I see it all

But no one sees me fly - no-one feels my pain

No-one hears me cry - no-one knows my name

Is glamour and pain - glamour and pain

I'm hanging in the air

I look in your window at my own lipstick reflection there

And behind it such a precious son et lumiÃÆ'¨re

Of all the normal stuff about which I'm supposed to care

I'd like to smash right through

And help myself to your silverware

To cut your throat and run

Or maybe I'd just laugh at your expression

Hooray for Superwhore

I see it all

But no one sees me fly - no-one feels my pain

No-one hears me cry - no-one knows my name

Is glamour and pain - glamour and pain

See me fly - feel my pain

Hear me cry - know my name

Glamour and pain
