Lover Logo
Video
Here we have chanteuse Ms. Gina Figueroa, obviously turning the Rev's worship toward her spotlight. The confusion of desire with consumer addiction is - yet again! - our theme. What a sad and basic request from a besotted consumer, "Are you my Lover? or are you my Logo?" But how terribly tragic when we are fooled into not asking the question at all - and end up with an knock-off Omega watch and not Brad Pitt. Film credit: Jacqueline Soohen and Rick Rowley. William Moses is the composer, with lyrics by Reverend Billy.

Lyrics
Across a darkened room
I’m not talking, but I interrupt
You edge closer
tryin’ to sip but not kiss the cup
What comp’ny are you with?
Oh this- it’s my new tattoo?
I’m feeling lots of logo here
Crawling up my leg like you
Do I have a lover?
What a question in a dump like this!
Was I trademarked in the corner?
Your remote on my big screen kiss?
Your love is digitized
You whisper in my ear “Now Dance”
How’d you get that rhythm?
You’re not moving you’re stuck in a branded trance
(riffing)
We’re not going to any chapel
Will you send me new graphics every week?
And if I say I’m lonely
Your comp’ny tattoo is on my cheek
Are you my lover? Are you my logo?
