[Intro: Joe Jackson]
Okay, this is another song from Night and Day II
It's got kind of a disco thing to it
This is sung on the album by Dale DeVere, a drag queen
She's not here, either
But we, we're gonna do a double gender fuck on you
This is gonna be sung by our drag king, Allison Cornell
This is called "Glamour and Pain"
[Verse 1: Allison Cornell]
I had that dream again
Where I'm flying thirty feet
Above the street again
Looking though windows, there you are
Sit down to eat again
It's the usual egg foo yung
You watch TV and then
Put the kids to bed
And then I see you reaching for my number
Then I hate you even more
I see it all
[Chorus: Allison Cornell]
But no one sees me fly
No one feels my pain
No one hears me cry
No one knows my name
Is glamour and pain
Glamour and pain
[Verse 2: Allison Cornell]
Do you remember me
Or just the shiny, shiny shoes
I had you kiss for me?
And my legs as smooth as chrome
Were you in ecstasy
As you were pumping out a flood
Of dollar bills for me?
I'd cry mascara tears
If only I could give a fuck about it
And though you can't recall
I see it all
[Chorus: Allison Cornell]
But no one sees me fly
No one feels my pain
No one hears me cry
No one knows my name
Is glamour and pain
Glamour and pain
[Verse 3: Allison Cornell]
I'm hanging in the air
I look in your window at my own
Lipstick reflection there
And behind it such a
Precious son et lumière
Of all the normal stuff
About which I'm supposed to care
I'd like to smash right through
And help myself to your silverware
To cut your throat and run
Or maybe I'd just laugh at your expression
Hooray for Superwhore
I see it all
[Chorus: Allison Cornell]
But no one sees me fly
No one feels my pain
No one hears me cry
No one knows my name
Is glamour and pain
Glamour and pain
[Outro: Allison Cornell]
See me fly
Feel my pain
Hear me cry
Know my name
Is glamour and pain
