I've seen this city through the eyes of pin hole cameras Shadows grey and upside down I've seen these streets strech like slides in panorama Vanish into darkness on the edge of town It makes me sorry My pin hole camera These photographs Reveal no answers I've walked the allleys with my camera in my pockets I've stopped to watch the sun set, Ladybird Lake, Austin I've captured moments, paces, faces lost and empty I've seen them starving, living in this land of plenty It makes me sorry My pin hole camera These photographs Reveal no answers
I've traced the lines of broken prayers on empty spaces Recorded time in strange and cryptic wire transmissions Postponed the days I felt fit to reveal the deception Does deception reveal itself? It makes me sorry My pin hole camera These photographs Reveal no answers I've kept the world a secret in my instamatic I've captured history upside down Taken light from others heedless of the vision Lost memories to anger in a split decision It makes me sorry The world of cameras Our photographs Reveal no answers
