Electrolite (as performed on BBC’s ‘Later’ with Jools Holland) Songtext
von R.E.M.

Your eyes are burning holes through me.
I′m gasoline. I'm burnin′ clean.
Twentieth century go and sleep.
You're Pleistocene. That is obscene. That is obscene.

You are the star tonight.
Your sun electric, outasight.
Your light eclipsed the moon tonight.
Electrolite.
You're outasight.

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


You are the star tonight.
Your sun electric, outasight.
Your light eclipsed the moon tonight.
Electrolite.
You′re outasight.

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.

You are the star tonight.
Your sun electric outasight.
Your light eclipsed the moon tonight.
Electrolite.
You′re outasight.

Twentieth century go and sleep.
Really deep. We won't blink
Your eyes are burning holes through me.
I′m not scared I'm outta here.
I'm not scared. I′m outta here.
