The Camera Eye

Corgan Billy

Listen, listen: 
This is mark I cannot place 
This is the wish I dare not leave 
Time uncovers what is keeping still 
I unaware move against my will 

Simon says, "pass on by" 
Passions wane, stragglers weep 
Hungers fight 
For the camera eye 

Hold me so 
I'll never let you go 
Stay with me for a while 
(while I sleep) 

Momma squeeze 
Grace my spine 
Walk on thru the camera eye 

Listen, listen: 
This is the name I cannot speak 
This is the flame I dare not douse 
Here, things are 
We'll never get that far 
Close enough to die a time or two or three 

Stretch my skin 
Restless gods 
Maybe turn my heart of hearts 
Deposit change in the camera eye 

Who needs pain to survive? 
I need pain TO CHANGE MY LIFE 
In gentle myths and turning leaves we all come to bury truth 

Honey choose my wet dream 
A naked soul just has to grieve 
If I bleed, the camera cries 
No one doubts the camera eye 

Move fast forward thru the camera eye 
Move fast forward thru the camera eye 
The camera eye 
The camera eye
