Lyrics for Electrolite

Your eyes are burnin' holes through me I'm gasoline I'm burnin' clean 20th century, go to sleep You're plasticine That is obscene That is obscene 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 Mulholland Drive I am alive Hollywood is under me I'm Martin Sheen I'm Steve McQueen I'm Jimmy Dean 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 Mulholland Drive Up in the sky Stand on a cliff and look down there Don't be scared You are alive You are alive You are the star tonight You shine electric outta sight Your light eclipsed the moon tonight Electrolite You're outta sight 20th century, go to sleep Really deep We won't blink Your eyes are burnin' holes through me I'm not scared I'm outta here I'm not scared I'm outta here
