lyrics

He was shooting a self-portrait
In a glass window looking on a starless world
The desert night was dark enough
To reflect back a boy who was once born a girl

He had outgrown the teenage skin
The first born baby of a Scorpio
Who was carried across America
To a neon paradise far from the snow

Camera Camera open your eyes
Capture your childhood as it passes by
You’ve seen so much that you shouldn’t have
And you keep on smiling for the photographs

He envied the old black cat
Who sleeps and never has to think or choose
Which bathroom door to open up
To suffer the least amount of abuse

Camera Camera open your eyes
Capture your childhood as it passes by
You’ve seen so much that you shouldn’t have
And you keep on smiling for the photographs

The photographer’s heart is a dark room where truth is exposed
Choosing which memories develop and which are disposed
It’s a harsh chemical - filter your life
With great self-control
Focus the light through a pinhole

Camera Camera open your eyes
Capture your childhood as it passes by
You’ve seen so much that you shouldn’t have
And you keep on smiling for the photographs
Camera Camera open your eyes
Capture your childhood as it passes by
You’ve seen so much that you shouldn’t have
And you keep on smiling for the photographs
