I wanna go to the show
can you buy us a ticket
then let's wrap me up
in a red velvet blanket
first the perfect light
then somebody else's life reappears
and i'm so happy to be here
the lights go down
i just can't wait to meet her
so i hold on tight to my seat
at the theatre
she's my celluloid hero
across a silhouette veneer
and i'm so happy to be here
and i think you sink so deep
you come and wake me from my sleep
and it's good
so good so far
so i dream of you beneath
red velvet stars
and i think you sink so deep
you come and wake me from my sleep
you must be my lucky star
'cause baby i'm the luckiest by far
i wanna go to the show
can you buy us a ticket
then let's wrap me up
in a red velvet blanket
i'm alive and breathing
and this will be my greatest year
i'm so happy to be here
