Karaoke

You took to the stage, a Chiffon, a Supreme
And reading from a TV screen
You sang with genuine emotion
Or so it did seem

Your eyes expressed a vision of love
Your arms outstretched to me
We met under the boardwalk
But did it mean anything?

You sang a melody, unchained
But will your love godspeed to me?
Are you gonna stand by your man?
Or is it just karaoke?

Words from Cyrano are easy to ape
Anyway though, it's fun to escape
In the intoxication and fantasy
That's much sweeter than the grape

I'll live either way
The vapor or that other thing
If be the vapor, flood the lights
If be the other, your love is king

You sang a melody, unchained
But will your love godspeed to me?
Are you gonna stand by your man?
Or is it just karaoke?

Is it karaoke, all your words?
Is it karaoke, your antics?
Or is it all some kind of pantomime?
Playing the role of romantic?

Don't let's answer this question now
I guess it doesn't matter anymore
Guess I'm a load of karaoke too
Unable to say more

You sang a melody, unchained
But will your love godspeed to me?
Are you gonna stand by your man?
Or are you just karaoke-ing me?

You sang a melody, unchained
But will your love godspeed to me?
Are you gonna stand by your man?
Or is it just karaoke?

You sang a melody, unchained
But will your love godspeed to me?
Are you gonna stand by your man?
Or is it just karaoke?
