Cass McCombs - Karaoke lyrics

You took to the stage, a Chiffon, a Supreme
And reading from a TV screen
You sang with genuine emotion
Or so it did seem
Your eyes expressed a Vision Of Love
Your arms outstretched to me
We met Under The Boardwalk
But did it mean anything?

You sang a melody unchained
But will your love godspeed to me?
Are you gonna Stand By Your Man
Or is it just karaoke?

Words from Cyrano are easy to ape
Anyway though it's fun to escape
In the intoxication and fantasy
That’s much sweeter than the grape
I'll live either way
The vapor or that other thing
If be the vapor, flood the lights
If be the other, Your Love Is King

You sang a melody unchained
But will your love godspeed to me?
Are you gonna Stand By Your Man
Or is it just karaoke?

Is it karaoke, all your words?
Is it karaoke, your antics?
Or is it all some kind of pantomime?
Playing the role of romantic?
Don't let’s answer this question now
I Guess It Doesn't Matter Anymore
Guess I'm a load of karaoke too
Unable to say more

You sang a melody unchained
But will your love godspeed to me?
Are you gonna Stand By Your Man
Or are you just karaoke-ing me?

You sang a melody unchained
But will your love godspeed to me?
Are you gonna Stand By Your Man
Or is it just karaoke?
