Absolute Power
Original version (3:53)
[on To Die A Virgin]
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 okay,
It’s all right,
It’s all right,
‘Cause you are a star tonight.
You’ve got a hot date,
A hot date,
So sleep tight
So sleep tight
With your guitar tonight.
You say you’re so tired
You’re so tired
Of this life.
Of this life.
Well, get in your car and drive
Away from the cameras
And the headlines
Screaming you are a star tonight, You are a star tonight,
With absolute power tonight, Absolute power tonight,
And absolute power corrupts Absolute power corrupts
Absolutely.
Fame has no colour,
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 okay,
It’s all right,
It’s all right,
‘Cause you are a star tonight.
You’ve got a hot date,
A hot date,
So sleep tight
So sleep tight
With your guitar tonight.
You say you’re so tired
You’re so tired
Of this life.
Of this life.
Well, get in your car and drive
With all the cameras
And the headlines
Screaming “You are a star tonight, “You are a star tonight,
With absolute power tonight”, Absolute power tonight”,
And absolute power corrupts Absolute power corrupts
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
