Monochrome-set, making it more spirit-stuck-in-the-screen. The song is from Bisonics' album 'Seconds', available from http://www.smokingantrecords.com.
A KARAOKE VERSION OF MYSELF
I'm empty as a condemned flat
I'm disconnected and cold
You get emotional, I get my hat
The sign on my soul says 'Sold'
I maybe flogged it to the Devil in a Faustian pact
In exchange for sex and fame and wealth
I've seen little of that
But it's a transparent fact
I'm a karaoke version of myself
She stopped being the person I fell in love with
I never became what she wanted me to be
And when she left I found I lost the gift to give
I'm paying the price for being free.
I'll be with the legless men in a topless bar
Get wrecked wishing ourselves "Good health!"
I'm in the queue of goons
Await my turn to croon tunes
I'm a karaoke version of myself
There are visions of beauty that can make a heart melt
Mine will neither thaw or bend
I take drugs to remember to drink to forget
Situations I can't wreck or mend
I sidestep sorrow, misery misses by miles
I'm out to lunch should you call for help
These tears are pure crocodile
I use coat-hangers to smile
I'm a karaoke version of myself
I've extinguished the fires
Cut all the wires
Karaoke version of myself
My heart is a fridge
Is this the verse or the bridge?
I just do these lines
There's no reason in rhyme
Here, tonight,
Here, tonight,
Here, tonight
Here, tonight -
A KARAOKE VERSION OF MYSELF!
LYRICS ALSO PLEASE!

The album, that this song is a mere 15th of, won't be released online till Feb 2012. In the meantime, the actual, tangible, real CD is available now from the Secret Record Club Organisation aka SRCO. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to seek out SRCO, suspected to be part of the Smoking Ant industrial complex, apprehend the Bisonics 'Seconds' disc - paying unmarked currency if need be - and bring it back to HQ for immediate decoding and what the modern teenagers call 'jiving'.
