Gloria Deluxe - Peel Away The Layers lyrics

Mother: And so I'll peel away the layers And I'll make them into a book And I'll give it to you So you can make it into a movie And I'll be a silver screen I'll be a little gleam in the corner of your eye All salt and all settled down I'll lay beneath the cold ground but I'll still be kicking around Inside the pages of my big fat book I'd like to take a lock Of your baby hair And put it in my book So you will end up in your movie And I'll be the fire inside The tears falling from the audience's eyes Ashes become fertile ground I won't be making a sound But I'll be all written out Inside the pages of my big fat book Daughter: And I'll read them Until I Know them by heart And I'll make them into A movie of your life So the people will Weep tears of joy And then they'll know Who you were When they see my movie I'll make it a beautiful Psy-cho-dra-ma And a biography I'll make it a thriller, too But I'll give it a Twisted ending And you will live On and on Inside of My movie (and inside your mind Dear and most beloved reader Strangers and of course you, my daughter)
