Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I can feel it in the air
I can feel it, young and strong
Like an intoxicating dare
Some residue of joy
Simple pleasures and delight
Would you buy that ruthless ploy?
Would you buy that ploy?
Mark my words, it's not quite what you thought
[Verse 2]
Shadow Play, directed by you
Love portrays mistake
The Oscar goes to hate
Dragons slain, the princess, rescued
It's all what you create
Your shadows will be played
[Verse 3]
And here, now, comes the sweet caress
Unreality, to guide us
With a forceful righteousness
And you can taste the kiss of death
More divine than breath, I know
Always just the right address
Just the right caress
Mark my words, it's not quite what you thought
[Verse 4]
Shadow Play, directed by you
Love portrays mistake
The Oscar goes to hate
Dragons slain, the princess, rescued
It's all what you create
Your shadows will be played
[Verse 5]
So this is what you think you need to play the game
A pretty royal flush of secondhand fame
For proof of existence, for critical acclaim
Aloof preeminence preceding your pen name
Cliches of violence and off-mark blame
Some character flows to masticate the shame
Sex in a dress, in a wide array
Sex in a suit, hello, happy birthday
Mark my words, it's never what you thought
[Verse 6]
Shadow Play, directed by you
Love portrays mistake
The Oscar goes to hate
Dragons slain, the princess, rescued
It's all what you create
Your shadows will be played
It's all what you create
Your shadows will be played
