G              C                     G
Your eyes are burning holes through me.
C        G
I'm gasoline.
C             G    C
I'm burnin' clean.
G          C              G
Twentieth Century go to sleep
C             G
You're plasticine.
C           G
That is obscene.
C           D
That is obscene.

Chorus:
     Am             D
You are the star tonight.

Your sun electric, outta sight.

Your light eclipsed the moon tonight.
     G   Am              Em G  D
Elecrolite. You're outa 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

Chorus

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

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
