Seen It All Before

Another smile, another fake parade
Same old lines, same old masquerade
Another pretty face, another empty thrill
I watch it all unfold – yeah, I just sit still

Flashing lights, but they don't blind me no more
Heard the lies dressed up in metaphors
A silver dream, another plastic score
Click, repeat, seen it all before

Nothing shocks me, nothing hits
Same old circus, same old tricks
Tell me something, something new
But, baby, I’ve seen it all before

Nothing moves me, nothing sticks
Same old sugar, same old fix
Roll the dice, I know the score
Baby, I’ve seen it all before

Another lover plays that sweet charade
Velvet words, then they just fade
I let it slide, I play the fool
But deep inside, yeah, I know the rules

Gold turns gray when you touch it too much
Another promise, another rush
Laugh it off, what's the point to adore?
A hollow echo, seen it all before

Nothing shocks me, nothing hits
Same old circus, same old tricks
Tell me something, something new
But, baby, I’ve seen it all before

Nothing moves me, nothing sticks
Same old sugar, same old fix
Roll the dice, I know the score
Baby, I've seen it all before

Ooh, spin the wheel, play the part
Fake the thrill, fake the heart
Ooh, sell me gold, sell me more
But, baby, I've seen it all before

Ooh, yeah
Seen it, seen it
Seen it all before
Ooh, yeah
Nothing new, no more
