Picture-phone Lyrics

Picture-phone lyrics

It's a reckless world
That lets itself be guided by its tools
But what
our eyes can see we believe
The truth is not for fools
Is there
nothing between us but plastic and wire
Will some modern invention prove
you a liar
All the time you were saying this is it
It was that
And you didn't get that scratch from the cat
CHORUS:
I'll be
stripped to the skin
You'll be stripped to the bone
And we'll all say
no to the picture-phone
  It was so easy to cheat on a blind line
 
With an alibi and your image intact
  Whatever the number -
 
Whatever the crime -
  Not only the famous will have to resign
And
you have come to depend
On your right to pretend you're alone
Would
the star of the screen
Ever wish to be seen
Red-eyed and dying
through the morning call
And the president's friends
Would they live
for long
If they saw down the wire what really goes on
When you're
home to relax
Come the facial attacks
And the breathers in masks - oh
no!
CHORUS
Is she the girl of your dreams
With her curlers and
creams
Another fantasy's blown
And we'll all say no on the
picture-phone
CHORUS
