Having My Picture Taken Lyrics

My camera,

Sees things my eyes can't see.

I have it focused,

From here to eternity.

Catch the moment, catch the light, catch your breath

Let me freeze your frame.

We'll synchronize machine and brain,

But don't mind me...

I'm having my picture taken.



I can choose 

Each day who I want to be.

You can choose

Each day who you want to see,

We'll scan the crowd and pan the rounds of all those

Distant scenes,

Immortalize a slice of time,

Hey don't mind me...

I'm having my picture taken.



Flash: another instant in an instamatic,

Click: another reflex set on automatic,

Snap: another moment of the life dramatic,

You really should have been there it was so fantastic
