You wear your smile like acetate,
Shining under
club-room light.
I wear my heart in silver leather,
Buttoned up and pulled too tight.
We know the moves,
we know the mirror,
Know the way the
story bends. Every kiss becomes a camera,
Every promise
just pretends. But the bass line keeps forgiving
What the daylight
would expose.
If it's only imitation,
Why does everybody know?
Plastic love affair, Glitter in the midnight air.
We can dance like we believe it,
We can vanish on the stair.
Plastic love affair,
Perfect danger, polished prayer.
If it breaks before the morning,
Leave the pieces shining there.
You said forever like a lyric From a song we
never owned. I said maybe like a stranger
Who was scared to be alone.
There were diamonds in the ashtray,
There was lipstick on the glass.
We were beautiful and temporary,
Moving too fast. But the bass line keeps forgiving
What the daylight
would expose. If it's only imitation,
Why does everybody know?
Plastic love affair, Glitter in the midnight air.
We can dance like we believe it,
We can vanish on the stair.
Plastic love affair,
Perfect danger, polished prayer.
If it breaks before the morning,
Leave the pieces shining there.
Don't tell me it's over
Till the last light
leaves the floor. Don't tell me it's empty
If I'm still asking for more.
Plastic love affair, Let the mirror catch the flare.
We can dance like we believe it,
We can disappear somewhere.
Plastic love affair,
Perfect danger, polished prayer.
If it breaks before the morning,
Leave the pieces shining there.
