You're on the cover of every magazine,
You show your private life behind the silver screen.
I’m your find, I'm the moving target, on the town it's hit [bad word] 
After shot, I thought [bad word] undone.

Caught in a photoplay, living in masquerade
Flash in the night,
Photoplay.

Technicolor dreams have faded overnight,
When someone's in the red, it turns to black and white.
Where's the [bad word] and [bad word] confessions, when they're made from fantasy?
Now you're exposed to the third degree.

Caught in a photoplay, living in masquerade,
Victim of rape,
Photoplay.

Caught in a photoplay, living in masquerade,
Taking the stage,
Photoplay.

You thought they picked a good day,
Sometimes they leave you alone,
Sometimes they turn away,
You won't be something they harm.

Caught in a photoplay, living in masquerade
Flash in the night,
Photoplay.

Caught in a photoplay, living in masquerade
Taking the stage,
Photoplay.
