Electrolite Lyrics
R.E.M.
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
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
