They’re gonna put me in the movies  
They’re gonna make a big star out of me  
We’ll make a film about a man that’s sad and lonely  
And all I got to do is act naturally

She’s making movies on location  
She don’t know what it means  
But the music makes her want to be the story  
And the story was whatever was the song - what it was  
Roller girl, don’t worry  
DJ plays the movies, all night long

And the sounds we make together  
Is the music to the story in your eyes  
It’s been shining down upon me now, I realize

Listen to the tide slowly turning  
Wash all our heartaches away  
We’re part of the fire that is burning  
And from the ashes we can build another day

These are the bare wires of my life  
Since it was cut down the middle by love  
Tides have been turning  
I have been learning  
All my bare wires are alive  
All my bare wires are alive

I sing the body electric  
I celebrate the me yet to come  
I toast to my own reunion  
When I become one with the sun

Take a look at  
These dirty hands  
Take a look at this face these blazing eyes  
Do you see me as a broken man  
Tell me  
Are you really that blind

You got yourself a load of trouble now  
You got yourself a bad deal  
You say I’ve got a bad attitude  
How d’you think I feel

Hey Nikita, is it cold  
In your little corner of the world?  
You could roll around the globe  
And never find a warmer soul to know  
Oh, I saw you by the wall  
Ten of your tin soldiers in a row  
With eyes that looked like ice on fire  
The human heart, a captive in the snow

In my own little corner,  
in my own little chair,  
I can be whatever I want to be.

Faustus you’ve got nothing to fear  
It may be Hell down there  
'Cause it’s Heaven up here  
I’d have given forever  
For a few good years  
But too much of a muchness  
Is too much you hear?

Down below, down below, caught the devil talking to his son  
Who wanted to go up above, up above  
He cried, “It’s getting to warm for me down here and so  
I’m going way up where I can have a little fun.”  
The Devil slowly smiled and then he answered his son

Beach baby, beach baby, give me your hand,  
Give me something that I can remember.  
Just like before, we can walk by the shore in the moonlight.

Your smile comes to me, and the sadness disappears  
For I know soon will be a time to share together

Times we share are beautiful, and yet  
When I’m alone, the memories don’t hold

But this will pass, now that you’re here to hold my hand  
Just me and you  
Simple and two
