Vigil In A Wilderness Of Mirrors Lyrics - 1989

[ Buy Vigil In A Wilderness Of Mirrors ]

Track down a satellite, beam in the action, life lies bleeding
Live in your living room, our senses on remote control overkill and overload.
>from lockerbie to lebanon's getting closer every day
Hollywood to hungerford's an impression away.

I like to watch implausible pledges of polite politicians.
I like to watch them even more than my video nasties.
I like to watch.

The bleeding of a bimbo, a backstabbing beauty queen
Titillating tabloids trigger off a wet dream into action
A fatal attraction, private lives are up for auction.
A cupboard full of skeletons are coming out to play.

I like to watch disasters in replay and rerun in slo mo.
I like to watch on the spot interviews kicking in front doors.
I like to watch.

To watch as my face is reflected in blank tv screens
The programmes are over, i like to pretend that that's
Me up there making headlines, camera closeups
Catching my right side i don't care if it's only a moment
As long as it's peaktime, just as long as all of
My friends and family see me, the world
Will know my name - come on down

I like to watch psychologists speculate, analysts analise.
I like to watch my methods and motives, the topic of talk shows.
I like to watch.
Switch off, turn on.
