Drab Majesty - Photograph

The feeling's taken hold
Disappointed by every single pose
She doesn't look right to your eye
Does just what you say
And is it any better?
The more you shoot, the more she slips away

You took a picture of a person
You know when it's right
And you're still wondering if she's worth it
You know, I know, you know

You only see the best
Forgetting all the rest
Da, da-da, da-da
Rendering an image for the press
You got her all the fame
But does it really matter?
There's something always missing in the frame

And down you go
Around you go again
Down you go, around you go
And down you go again
Around you go
Around you go again

Come now, shake the photograph
Of dizzy days, of wine and laughter
You can see, open the aperture
And now the lights are brighter
Moving close, the end grows tighter
Can't rebel, open the aperture
Our beauty, fatal minded
Turned into an advertisement
Fantasies, open the aperture
These photographs reflecting emptiness
You can't pretend there's no light now
Open the aperture

You took a picture of a person
You know when it's right
And you're still wondering if she's worth it
You know, I know, you know
You took a picture of a person
You know when it's right
And you're still wondering if she's worth it
You know, I know, you know
Oh
