A Collection

Marillion

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
