Preservation

I`m preserving myself with make-up Lookin` in the mirror I`m preserving my life, I can take it Shinin` in the spotlight Preservation, lookin` in the mirror Preservation, but they don`t know that I`m scrapin` it all off Every night I`m reserving my rights, reputation Livin` in a movie, it`s keepin` me lookin` right When the secret is out to the public Seein` is believin`, they still wanna be me at night When the parts get shorter, the parties get harder But that`s alright Preservation, lookin` in the mirror Preservation, but they don`t know that I`m scrapin` it off Every night They`re linin` up to make their entrance When the word`s out I`m in town, they`re not nice girls But that`s alright They`re lookin` so much better when the lights go down But nice girls is just a frame of mind Preservation, lookin` in the mirror Preservation, but they don`t know that I`m scrapin` it off Every night (written by Nazareth) copyright 1982 Fool Circle Music Limited all rights reserved. lyrics used by permission reproduction prohibited
