Amber Waves

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

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 by and you have the time
tell the northern lights to keep shining.
Lately it seems like they're drowning."

He could light you up
And summon every swan to 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

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 by and you have the time
tell the northern lights to keep shining.
Lately it seems like they're drowning."

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
