E                        G#m
My camera sees things my eyes can't see.

I have it focused from here to eternity.

Catch the moment, catch the light, catch your breath.

Let me freeze your frame.

 We'll synchronize machine and brain.

But (Hey) don't mind me...

I'm having my picture taken.

I can choose each day who I want to be.

You can choose each day who you want to see.

We'll scan the crowd and pan the rounds of all those distant scenes.

 Immortalize a slice of time.
