The One & Only (Phantasmagory) Songtext
von Mick Harvey & Amanda Acevedo

Here in our
One & Only
Virtual world
When you call me
A panorama
With nothing phony
Opens up
Before my eyes

Here and now
A dream story
The one and only
Phantasmagory
If you′re lonely
Please just call me
You can show me
The how and why


You arrived
With a briefcase
Of ideas
That didn't match
A case of split
Personalities
And I am
The only catch

How long might
This revelation
Belong to us
Or anyone
A figment of
My imagination
It is what′s right
It's what is wrong

If you ask
Me what secrets
What mistakes
Of mine I hide
You're the one
(My) virtual only
It′s not for me
To decide


My mentor had
So many names
I gave some more
To him and yet
When his was mine
Mine felt the same
A riddle that
I won′t forget

Here we are

In this moment
Ten billion stars
Unaligned
Circling 'round
The firmament
But here and now
We are fine

Here in our
One & Only
Virtual world
When you call me
A panorama
With nothing phony
Opens up
Before my eyes
