This Mad Desire - Popcorn Nostalgia

Popcorn nostalgia, celebrate the actors
You know that I used to be one in my thinner days
Celluloid perfection, well, freeze-frame the cellulite
'Cause my legs used to turn the men on

Turn on the movie
Turn off the light
Remember me if only for tonight

I spoke all the lines and I made love to the camera
You'd close your eyes and make believe to me
It's not real but it's always true
The monster always gets to you

Turn on the movie and
Turn off the lights
Remember me if only for tonight

If you see me, don't be disappointed
By what you see
I'm not my movies
I don't have perfect teeth
In real life, I could not suspend your disbelief

I'm Marilyn Monroe and I am Gwyneth Paltrow
And I am Brigitte Bardot, baby
I am Margaret Trudeau

You know, darling, sandpaper critics
They all say beauty it's a rose
With immortality on the vine, fine darling
You know if that's true, then I should tell you
I want back what's rightfully mine
You know, darling, I want back my glamour and
I want back my pride because
Beauty is on the outside
I want back my cuteness and I want back my innocent me
You know that I don't want to be this thing you see.

And I don't want to be, I don't want to be
You know I don't want to be, darling I don't want to be
I don't want to be this thing you see
