    well he lit you up

    like amber waves in his movie show

    he fixed you up real good

    till i don''t know you anymore

    from ballet class to a lap dance

    straight to video

    and the pool side news

    was that he would be

    launching you



    [CHORUS:]

    into every young man''s

    bedroom - you gave it up

    on dvd and magazine -

    you gave it up

    a private rite of passage

    you gave it up

    to every boy''s sweet dream

    with their paper cuts



    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 buy, and you have

    the time, tell the northern

    lights to keep shining - lately it seems like they''re drowning~



    he cold 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

    though his flint glass

    seeing all of you

    immersed in his sepia



    [CHORUS]



    so i went by -

    cause i had the time,

    and told the northern lights

    to keep shining

    they told me to tell you -

    they''re waving
