about

Written by Mackenzie Kristjon.. There is another version somewhere on soundcloud.com/thismaddesire that has the current way I do the beginning of the song...

lyrics

POPCORN NOSTALGIA (december 1998)
Popcorn nostalgia, celebrate the actors
I used to be one in my thinner days
celluloid perfection, freeze-frame the cellulite
My legs used to turn men on…

Turn off the Movie! Turn on the Lights!
Remember Me if only for To-night!

I spoke all the lines, made love to the camera
You’d close your eyes and make believe to me..
it’s not real but it’s still true
the Monster always gets to you.

Turn off the Movie! Turn on the Lights!
Remember Me if only for To-night!

(if you see me, don’t be disappointed by what time has done to me.. I’m not my movies. I don’t have perfect teeth. In life, I could never suspend your disbelief..)

sandpaper critics say, “beauty is a rose
with immortality on the vine…”
If that’s true, then I should tell you
I want back what’s rightfully mine!
I want back my glamour! I want back my pride!
Beauty is on the outside!
I want back my cuteness, my innocent me...

I don’t want to be this thing you see.
