Great Expectations Songtext
von The Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger

Your heart is dark as film noir
Like a cabaret, you′re better from afar

Don't keep us waiting for you
This is your big debut
If you forget your lines
They′ll feed you to the lions

Great expectations
All eyes are on you
There is nothing
That you wouldn't do
But soon they'll want someone new

Be sure that you′re right on time
For the big interview
In suits and tongue ties
They′re counting on you

Cameras flash and you go blind
But you'll think you′ve seen the light
The stars in your eyes
Just cable satellites


Great expectations
All eyes are on you
There is nothing
That you wouldn't do
But soon they′ll want someone new

And I like to be alone
(In a crowded room)
Unplug the telephone
(They're calling for you)
And watch the walls begin to waltz

What if we pulled back the crimson curtains
Would you be nothing more than
A mink without a skin

Great expectations
All eyes are on you
There is nothing
That you wouldn′t do
But soon they'll want someone new

And I like to be alone
(In a crowded room)
Unplug the telephone
(They're calling for you)
And watch the walls begin to waltz
