Well he lit you up like amber waves in his movie show

He fixed you up real good

Til I don't know you anymore

From ballet class to a lap dance

Straight to video

And the poolside news was that he would be launching you



Into every young man's bedroom you gave it up

DVD and magazine you gave it up

A private rite of passage you gave it up

To every boy's sweet dream with their papercuts



You said he's got a healing machine

It glows in the dark

Glows in the dark

You say there's not a lot of me left anymore

Just leave it alone

But if you're by

And you have the time

Tell the Northern Lights to keep shining

Oh lately it seems like they're drowning



He could light you up

And summon every swan

Or the lakeside

Off to Cabo San Lucas

For some optical stimulus

Then you started to guess

There was someone else

Through his flint glass

Seeing all of you

Immersed in his sepia



Into every young man's bedroom you gave it up

DVD and magazine you gave it up

A private rite of passage you gave it up

To every boy's sweet dream with their papercuts



You said he's got a healing machine

It glows in the dark

Glows in the dark

You say there's not a lot of me left anymore

Just leave it alone

But if you're by

And you have the time

Tell the Northern Lights to keep shining

Oh lately it seems like they're drowning



So I went by cause I had the time

Told the Northern Lights to keep shining

They told me to tell you they're waving
