Incubus (Live) (1997 Digital Remaster) (Live) - Marillion (马里列恩)[00:00:00]
Written by:Derek Dick/Ian Mosley/Mark Kelly/Peter Trewavas/Steve Rothery[00:00:01]
When footlights dim in reverence to prescient passion[00:00:16]
For warned my audience leaves the stage floating ahead[00:00:25]
Perfumed shift within the stammering silence the face[00:00:33]
That launched a thousand frames betrayed by a porcelain tear[00:00:39]
A stained career[00:00:47]
You played this scene before you played this scene before[00:00:57]
I the mote in your eye eye eye eye[00:01:11]
I the mote in your eye[00:01:14]
A misplaced reaction reaction[00:01:16]
The darkroom unleashes imagination in pornographic images[00:01:50]
In which you will always be the star always be the star[00:01:59]
Untouchable unapproachable[00:02:04]
Constant in the darkness in the darkness[00:02:12]
In the darkness[00:02:17]
Nursing an erection a misplaced reaction[00:02:19]
With no flower to place before this gravestone[00:02:25]
And the walls become enticingly newspaper thin[00:02:32]
But that would be developing the negative view[00:02:39]
And you have to be exposed in voyeuristic color[00:02:46]
The public act[00:02:54]
Let you model your shame on the mannequin catwalk[00:02:57]
Catwalk[00:03:01]
Let the cats walk and the cat walks[00:03:04]
I've played this scene before[00:03:22]
I've played this scene before[00:03:28]
I the mote in your eye eye eye eye[00:03:35]
I the mote in your eye[00:03:38]
A misplaced reaction satisfaction[00:03:41]
You can't brush me under the carpet[00:04:04]
You can't hide me under the stairs[00:04:10]
The custodian of your private fears[00:04:17]
Your leading actor of yesteryear[00:04:24]
Who as you crawled out of the alleys of obscurity[00:04:31]
Sentenced to rejection in the morass of anonymity[00:04:37]
You who I directed with lovers will[00:04:44]
You who I let hypnotize the lens[00:04:50]
You who I let bathe in the spotlights glare[00:04:57]
You who wiped me from your memory like a greasepaint mask[00:05:03]
Just like a greasepaint mask[00:05:15]
But now I'm the snake in the grass[00:06:15]
The ghost of film reels past[00:06:19]
I'm the producer of your nightmare[00:06:25]
And the performance has just begun[00:06:29]
It's just begun[00:06:40]
It's just begun[00:06:52]
Your perimeter of courtiers jerk like celluloid puppets[00:07:22]
As you stutter paralyses with rabbits eyes[00:07:27]
Searing the shadows[00:07:33]
Flooding the wings[00:07:36]
To pluck elusive salvation from the understudy's lips[00:07:38]
Retrieve the soliloquize[00:07:44]
Maintain the obituary[00:07:48]
My cue line in the last act[00:07:50]
And you wait in silent solitude[00:07:53]
Waiting for the prompt[00:07:56]
Waiting for the prompt[00:07:58]
Waiting for the prompt[00:08:01]
Waiting for the prompt[00:08:07]
Waiting for the prompt[00:08:09]
Waiting for the prompt[00:08:12]
You've played this scene before[00:08:18]
