Silhouettes and Disguises

I'll let you know when I feel your spotlight starting to fade, when the clouds connect, and the sunlight turns to shade
But I swear I saw a star, and you swear you'd had enough
Give me fortunes for your everlasting fame
When I'm staring from afar through spells of tunnel vision, telescopic lenses are my own masquerade

Would you turn out the lights in my head?
Could I sing the same songs to you from my bed?
Could you laugh the same as you did back then when I would sing to you right from the stars?

And you swear you'd had enough of white lies and superstition
There's somethin' that tells me that someday I will be the one with your feathers in my hand
Yet you know, your spotlight's starting to fade
The transmissions from a love that's burning away
When I'm connecting the stars with this red-eyed tunnel vision, telescopic lenses are my own masquerade

Yet it's all in my head and it was just a dream
