Paparazzi

Paparazzi, can't make the man
Paparazzi, can't break the man

Next to the transit lounge, see the paparazzi tears
No one came in today from Boston or Tangiers
And in departures only faceless trippers trip
Loaded with duty free, held in white knuckle grip

Snap it up, flash away
Steal a camel for a day
Break the story in heavy type
The news is running late tonight

Bedecked with Nikon necklaces, hear the paparazzi cries
Under their noses walk the famous in disguise
Conspicuously huddled there but no one stops to look
They've got their crayons out to color in the book

Snap it up, flash away
Steal a camel for a day
Break the story in heavy type
Paparazzo won't be home tonight

Paparazzi, write it down
Paparazzi, turn it around
Paparazzi, take it, fake it
Break it 'cos it's a story

Paparazzi, oh
Paparazzi, oh
Paparazzi, oh
Quickly give your story, give your story to the paparazzi
Write it, write it, write it, write it, write it

Paparazzi, can't make the man
Paparazzi, can't break the man

Now someone's cut the lines, communication's down
All photo film is fogged, celebrities surround
And jab their fingers at me, they kiss but I can't tell
Even poor paparazzi must have privacy as well

Snap it up, flash away
Steal a camel for a day
Break the story in heavy type
The news is running late tonight

Snap it up, flash away
Steal a camel for a day
Break the story in heavy type
Paparazzo won't be home tonight
