about

Camera Cruise were five friends from the mean streets of Indian Hill, who shared the early MTV-inspired dream of wearing designer suits, sailing on yachts, and hanging out with models. Though the well-coiffed young men and their crooning, smooth pop offerings failed to capture anyone’s attention, they nonetheless were ultimately able to fulfil their envisioned lifestyle after joining their fathers’ brokerage firms a few years later.

lyrics

her promises scatter like the leaves on the breeze
her touch both excites you and makes you ill at ease
a cold-hearted love affair – you’ve gone where no angels dare
she barely leaves a trace – but you can’t forget her face

sapphire – my one true desire
cold blue emotion
that burns me like fire
sapphire – my heart’s on a wire
eyes like the ocean
the soul of a liar

you warm up to her but then she’ll let you freeze
she’s the jewel in the crown that leaves you weak in the knees
a corundum conundrum – but you still want to get you some
when the setting’s turned to rust – ooh there’s one thing we can trust

sapphire – you always inspire
love lives are lifted
then left in the mire
sapphire – you’re all I admire
eyes like the ocean
the soul of a liar

there goes my pride – here comes my fall
but I won’t hide – I’m still standing tall

sapphire – my one true desire
cold blue emotion
that burns me like fire
sapphire – you always inspire
love lives are lifted
then left in the mire
sapphire – it’s you I admire
perfectly fitted
and neatly attired
sapphire – my heart’s on a wire
eyes like the ocean
the soul of a liar
