You Are the Camera

Wake up naked
 Stretch like a panther
 Throw off the covers
 Run to the mirror, my lover
 Admire this face
 It could help to save the world
 This body must be seen to be believed
 My back and torso like a man ray photo
 This is a scene
 We are improvising me.
 You are the camera
 You try to seduce me
 You are the camera
 You love me
 I make love to you
 You are the camera.
 I practice different smiles
 I rehearse different lines
 Like the perfect comeback or an eloquent speech
 Let's take a walk on the street on the stage
 Don't say anything
 Just follow me
 Don't leave
 Save me for posterity
 What do I want to be seen buying?
 I write in my diary
 Only what I want you to read.
 You are the camera
 A reason for living
 You are the camera
 I need you to need me
 (I need you to justify my life)
 You are the camera.
 We sit down on the couch
 On the left or on the right?
 What is my good side?
 Come in for a close-up
 Fresh breath, perfect makeup
 Are we gonna kiss on the mouth like I read about?
 I look right at you and see myself and I'm in love.
 You are the camera
 A reason for living
 You are the camera
 In the presence of greatness
 You are the camera
 I disappear what you're not here
 You are the camera.
