Passion Is No Ordinary Word by Graham Parker from Squeezing Out Sparks

It worked much better in a fantasy,
Imagination's one thing that comes easy to me,
But this is nothing else if not unreal,
When I pretend to touch you, you pretend to feel.

Passion is no ordinary word I think I love you
Passion is no ordinary word I think I think
Passion is no ordinary word, ain't manufactured,
Ain't just another sound that you hear at night.

They've got new idols on the screen today,
Although they make a lot of noises they've got nothing to say,
I try to look amazed but it's an act,
The movie might be new but it's the same soundtrack.

Passion is no ordinary word I think I love you
Passion is no ordinary word I think I think
Passion is no ordinary word, ain't manufactured,
Ain't just another sound that you hear at night.

See how it feels, real useless ain't it,
Wait until it bites right down inside you,
The world is easy when you're just playing around with it,
Everything's a thrill, and every girl's a kill,
And then it get's unreal, and then you don't feel anything,
You don't feel anything.

An object of desire you don't desire to be,
I bet the shop window dummies give in just as easily,
I try to stop but have to make you fall down to the floor,
A moment in the darkness while we fake some more.

Passion is no ordinary word I think I love you
Passion is no ordinary word I think I think
Passion is no ordinary word, ain't manufactured,
Ain't just another sound that you hear at night.
