She sends her smile by satellite

Steaming up the screen at night

Got the mouth, knows how to squeeze

Every line of make-believe

In the flesh, just like a dream

Fingers touch the fantasy

To hold so close, her lips near mine

Bodies on the borderline



Oh, when the lights went down

I held my breath

But she held the freeze frame



Love like the video

Why can't she love like the video



Captured hot on thirty-five

Tempting all to idolise

Leading lady, pleading man

Picture post, l.a., cannes

Every take is just like the first

Every fake so well rehearsed

Passions are the cruelest part

Deception in the coolest heart



Oh, when the lights went down

I held my breath

But she held the freeze frame



Love like the video

Why can't she love like the video
