I know a movie star
I've got her plastered to my wall
just like we're dear old friends
like she already knows me
she's perfect as she seems
meets me right out the mezzanine
I've finally fell in love
I'd been waitin' for ever
4, 3, 2, 1
when at the barrel of a gun
keep my head way down
stay out or stay in
half dead, half numb
she's enough to make me warm
it's all so safe and sound
lie back and fast asleep
if you could see what I could see
drip drop a lovely dream
goddam you movie star
can't you just play a minute more
we'd be the best of friends
you could stay here for ever
4, 3, 2, 1
when at the barrel of a gun
keep my head way down
stay out or stay in
half dead, half numb
she's enough to make me warm
it's all so safe and sound
she will be sweet on me
just like a mystery
it's not so hard to see
if I'm not mistaken
she comes from far away
and gets closer everyday
and all that I can see
is she's all I want, and all that I live for
4, 3, 2, 1
when at the barrel of a gun
keep my head way down
stay out or stay in
half dead, half numb
she's enough to make me warm
it's all so safe and sound
