Amber Waves

Well, he lit you up

Like Amber Waves in his movie show

He fixed you up real good

Till I don't know you anymore

From ballet class to a lap dance

Straight to video

And the pool side news

Was that he would be launching you

Into every young man's bedroom

You gave it up

On DVD and magazine

You gave it up

A private rite of passage

You gave it up

To every boy's sweet dream

With their paper cuts

You said: "He's got a healing machine,

it glows in the dark,

glows in the dark."

You say: "There's not a lot of me left anymore,

just leave it alone.

But if you're by and you have the time

tell the northern lights to keep shining.

Lately it seems like they're drowning."

He could light you up

And summon every swan to the Lakeside

Off to Cabo San Lucas

For some optical stimulus

Then you started to guess

There was someone else though his flint glass

Seeing all of you

Immersed in his sepia

Into every young man's bedroom

You gave it up

On DVD and magazine

You gave it up

A private rite of passage

You gave it up

To every boy's sweet dream

With their paper cuts

You said: "He's got a healing machine,

it glows in the dark,

glows in the dark."

You say: "There's not a lot of me left anymore,

just leave it alone.

But if you're by and you have the time

tell the northern lights to keep shining.

Lately it seems like they're drowning."

So I went by 'cause I had the time

And told the northern lights to keep shining

They told me to tell you they're waving
