Absolute Power - The Divine Comedy

You don’t remember, you don’t recall

The night we met or what I was called

You’re really sorry for losing touch

Your memory fails you far too much

Don’t say you’ll take me some place to eat

Don’t make a promise you’ll never keep

Don’t say your number’s not yours to give

Don’t tell me, I know how it is

But hey, it’s okay, it’s alright

'Cause you are a star tonight

You’ve got a hot date

So sleep tight with your guitar tonight

You say you’re so tired of this life

Well, get in your car and drive

With all the cameras

And the headlines

Screaming, you are a star tonight

With absolute power tonight

And absolute power corrupts

Absolutely

Fame has no color, fame has no form

Fame cannot shelter you from the storm

Fame casts no shadow, fame makes no sound

Fame leaves no footprints in the ground

Fame can’t create you, fame cannot kill

Fame doesn’t love you, fame never will

Fame won’t be there to kiss you goodnight

Fame doesn’t care if you live or you die

But hey, it’s okay, it’s all right

'Cause you are a star tonight

You’ve got a hot date

So sleep tight with your guitar tonight

You say you’re so tired of this life

Well, get in your car and drive

With all the cameras

And the headlines

Screaming, you are a star tonight

With absolute power tonight

And absolute power corrupts

Absolutely, absolutely, absolutely
