We live on rumours A shadow world of lies in which we're all Our own consumers Aware that every secret has its price In this little private game where nothing's confidential Where rise to power, wealth and fame Does anything but last If you could only see the world through my eyes I wonder would you like the view And would it mean the same to you If you could only see the world through my eyes Supermen and drama queens The stage is yours behind the scenes They're in for more But you've been there before The road of claims and allegations Stuck within your own revolving door Your soul for free publicity The gateway to the masses Sleeping with the enemy A cuckoo in your nest You can try to hide your tracks All questionable facts Delete your notes, your compromising files No matter how you clean the place They'll even find the smallest trace Of anything that makes it worth their while To bring you down in style If you could only see the world through my eyes I wonder would you like the view And would it mean the same to you They're back again Get out while you still can Out of their web of information Escape their short attention span Back into obscurity, the world of second guesses Where shameless curiosity and talking to the rest If you could only see the world through my eyes I wonder would you like the view And would it mean the same to you If you could only see the world through my eyes Fallen stars and could-have- beens The stage is yours behind the scenes A long parade of wasted dreams
