A Collection

I've got a photograph

I took a picture of you

I took your picture in front of my favorite view

You play the part so well

You look so sure and free

No one could ever tell that you belong to me

And 'cause you lie so well

I've got to pin you down

Under lock and key

So you will always be in my collection

If you can't speak you can't lie

If you can't run, you can't hide

I know a place you can't die

So no one lives inside

My collection

I want to capture you

I want to immortalize

The way you play with your hair

The way you flash your eyes

I taste the air you breathe

I taste the food you eat

I keep your nails and hair

And some of the clothes you wear

If you can't speak you can't lie

If you can't run, you can't hide

And if you're dead you can't die

So no one lives inside

No one lives inside my collection

I've got some photographs

I'd like to show them to you

Though you don't know the girls

You'll recognize the view
