Cinema Star Lyrics - Nonstoperotik - Black Francis

I found a panel in the armoire 

Beneath the TV was a secret door 

There was a ladder down to a tunnel 

And I was walking underneath my floor 

I walked for miles in the darkness 

Until I popped up in my local gym 

The lights were bright for working out 

And then I saw you, you were talking to him 

But he was talking to me 

While he was looking at you 

And he was mouthing his words 

To me 

I'm just a kind of a cinema star 

Just not the kind you think 

And though my scenes deliver 

Now my ship is beginning to sink 

I put my love into every part 

And have you ever seen 

The arrows from my quiver 

Piercing the golden queen? 

Back in the tunnel I heard the voices 

Coming down from yesterday 

I drank my bottle of sugar water 

And headed out through the city's decay 

Fell through a vent in a warehouse 

Landed on a Van Nuys sound stage 

You helped me up, you in your glasses 

A cold, naked California sage 

And though I knew it was you 

It was so hard to believe 

The written words that you spoke 

Were true 

I'm just a kind of a cinema star 

Just not the kind you think 

And though my scenes deliver 

Now my ship is beginning to sink 

I put my love into every part 

And have you ever seen 

My body starts to shiver 

When I fill up your TV screen? 

I'm just a kind of a cinema star 

Just not the kind you think 

And though my scenes deliver 

Now my ship is beginning to sink 

I put my love into every part 

And have you ever seen 

The arrows from my quiver 

Piercing the golden queen?
