Lyrics
Electrolite
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Your eyes are burning holes through me
I'm gasoline
I'm burnin'n clean
Twentieth century, go and sleep
You''re plasticine
That is obscene
That is obscene
But you are the star tonight,
You shine electric outta sight
Your light eclipsed the moon tonight
Electrolite
You're outta sight
If I ever want to fly
Muholland drive
Up in the sky
Hollywood is under me
I'm Martin Sheen
I'm Steve McQueen
I'm Jimmy Dean
But you are the star tonight
You shine electric outta sight
Your light eclipsed the moon tonight
Electrolite
You're outta sight
If you ever want to fly
Muholland drive
You are alive
Stand on a cliff and look down there
Don't be scared
You are alive
You are alive
But you are the star tonight
You shine electric outta sight
Your light eclipsed the moon tonight
Electrolite
You're outta sight
Twentieth century go and sleep
Really deep
We won't blink
Your eyes are burnin' holes through me
I'm not scared
I'm out of here
I'm not scared
I'm out of here
