Lyrics

Electrolite (Unplugged, Live 2001)

[Intro, spoken]

One, two, three, four

[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 out of 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 out of sight

[Verse 3]

If you ever want to fly

Mulholland Drive

You are alive

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 out of sight

[Verse 4]

Twentieth century, go to sleep

Really deep

We won't blink

Your eyes are burning holes through me

I'm not scared

I'm out of here

I'm not scared

I'm out of here
