"Video" lyrics - DENIECE WILLIAMS

DENIECE WILLIAMS
"Video"
(Fritz Baskett / Monty Seward / Deniece Williams)

Mm-hmm...

The world is an illusion like a giant movie screen
A stage set in confusion as it calls you for the scene
It can pull you down from off the shelf
Like a faded movie queen
And it tells you this is what you should be
Then it winds you up till nothing's left
It can really slow you down
And for fantasy, it gives you speed

Don't you feel it?
Yes, you should know
We're living in, in a video
Another reel in another show
We're living in a video
Oh-whoa-whoa...

I made a decision, I've identified my role
The world means nothing to me if I sacrifice my soul
You can play a part and win the heart
Be the hero of that time
There's enough around for your own vanity
Don't you think it's time we made a choice
Stop pretending to be blind
To the world to come and all humanity

Don't you feel it?
Yes, you should know
We're living in, in a video
Another reel in another show
We're living in a video

Stories we make up, roles that we take up dreaming
Images fade like stars on a foggy night
Things we go after, they may require screening
Get into motion, walk straight into the light
Into the light

Don't you feel it?
Yes, you should know
We're living in, in a video
Another reel in another show
We're living in a video
Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa...

Can't you feel it?
Don't you feel it?
We're living in, in a video
Another reel in another show
We're living in a video
Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa...

(Don't you feel it, you should know)
(Another reel in another show)
(Don't you feel it, you should know)
(Another reel in another show)
(Don't you feel it, you should know)
(Another reel in another show)
