Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Your eyes are burning holes through me
I'm gasoline
I'm burning clean
Twentieth century, go to sleep
You're plasticine
That is obscene
That is obscene
[Chorus]
You are the star tonight
Your sun, electric, outta sight
Your light eclipsed the moon tonight
Electrolite
You're outta sight
[Verse 2]
If I ever want to fly
Mulholland Drive
I am alive
Hollywood is under me
I'm Martin Sheen
I'm Steve McQueen
I'm Jimmy Dean
[Chorus]
You are the star tonight
Your sun, electric, outta sight
Your light eclipsed the moon tonight
Electrolite
You're outta sight
[Verse 3]
If you ever want to fly
Mulholland Drive
Up in the sky
Stand on a cliff and look down there
Don't be scared
You are alive
You are alive
[Chorus]
You are the star tonight
Your sun, electric, outta sight
Your light eclipsed the moon tonight
Electrolite
You're outta sight
[Verse 4]
Twentieth century, go to sleep
Really deep
We won't blink
[Verse 5]
Your eyes are burning holes through me
I'm not scared
I'm outta here
I'm not scared
I'm outta here
