The Divine Comedy
Absolute Power
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
