Glamour & Pain Lyrics - Joe Jackson

I've had that dream again 

Where I'm flying thirty feet 

Above the street again 

Looking though windows, there you are 

Sit down to eat again 

It's the usual egg foo yung 

You watch TV and then 

Put the kids to bed 

And then I see you 

Reaching for my number 

Then I hate you even more 

I see it all 

But no one sees me fly, no one feels my pain 

No one hears me cry, no one knows my name 

Is glamour and pain, glamour and pain 

Do you remember me? 

Or just the shiny, shiny shoes 

I had you kiss for me 

And my legs as smooth as chrome 

Were you in ecstasy 

As you were pumping out a flood 

Of dollar bills for me 

I'd cry mascara tears 

If only I could give 

A fuck about it 

And though you can't recall 

I see it all 

But no one sees me fly, no one feels my pain 

No one hears me cry, no one knows my name 

Is glamour and pain, glamour and pain 

I'm hanging in the air 

I look in your window at my own 

Lipstick reflection there 

And behind it such a precious son et lumire 

Of all the normal stuff 

About which I'm supposed to care 

I'd like to smash right through 

And help myself to your silverware 

To cut your throat and run 

Or maybe I'd just laugh at your expression 

Hooray for superwhore 

I see it all 

But no one sees me fly, no one feels my pain 

No one hears me cry, no one knows my name 

Is glamour and pain, glamour and pain 

See me fly, feel my pain 

Hear me cry, know my name 

Is glamour and pain
