Came and Went - Thrush Hermit

You look so good on film

You never overwhelm

You’re always a the helm

And as the picture fades

The credits all cascade

And how can you persuade?

The men that you adore

Are knocking on your door

And how can you ignore?

Their simple compliments

Their money was well spent on you in case you went

And you went

And you came

And you went

And up upon the screen

The ugly and obscene

The act within the scene

I’ve seen the way you act

And how you stay intact

The fiction and in fact

The facts that you create

Have made the great debate

So embrace the ones you hate

The meek and the ashamed

The liar just renamed himself for you in case you came

And you came

And you came

And you went

You lie and that’s the truth

About the stories of your youth

You lie between our teeth

Your picture perfect smile

Your cinematic style

And your dramatic grief

And you came

And you went
