Living for the Photograph

You got diamond rings and everything
That you think you want
You got a million eyes thinking you're a prize
And they show it with a red heart
Each night a different fling
Each one a photograph
Hiding behind your screen
With your plastic laugh

Dress up with the girls
The party's hardly real
Take your picture with the flash
Baby, you're
Living for the photograph

Video killed the radio star
But you're no star at all
You're a fancy car and a fancy phone you don't
Even use to call
And nobody's gonna love ya
Once you've taken off your face
You're a word without a meaning
A fire without a flame

Dress up with the girls
The party's hardly real
Take your picture with the flash
Baby, you're
Living for the photograph

How does it feel when nothing's real
And you wish you were digital
I wonder what's missing from your heart
That makes you need their approval
You think that you're above it
You think yourself proud
Your fame is as real
As the smile on your mouth

Dress up with the girls
The party's hardly real
Take your picture with the flash
Baby, you're
Living for the photograph
Dress up with the girls
The party's hardly real
Take your picture with the flash
Baby, you're
Living for the photograph
