I believe it's, "you're the laughter, you're the obscene." As for the other missing line(s), it sounds like, "you're a cast___ looking on;" I'm wondering if it's jargon related to film casting. I also think "I am love" might simply be a strange pronunciation of "i-in love," based on her mouth in the music video.
Anyhow, I think the song is about being in love with someone, but realizing it's unhealthy and inadvisable ("I think I'm mad"). The person feels somehow comforted by the relationship ("you're a supplement, you're a salve / you're a bandage"), but knows the other person is dishonest and hiding something ("actor out of work," "brass knuckles underneath").

"You're a cast sign, broken on" ? (definitely 'broken'- can see it second time round) "I am love" = "iron lung"
