  • 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 as perfect as she seems,
    Lifts me right out the mezzanine.
    I finally fell in love,
    I'd been waiting forever.

    Four, three, two, one
    When out the barrel of a gun
    Keep my head way down.
    Stay out I'll 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.

    Goddamn you movie star,
    Can't you just stay a minute more.
    We'd be the best of friends
    You could stay here forever.

    Four, three, two, one
    When out the barrel of a gun
    Keep my head way down.
    Stay out I'll 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
    Gets closer everyday.
    And all that I can say
    She's all I want and all that I live for.

    Four, three, two, one
    When out the barrel of a gun
    Keep my head way down.
    Stay out I'll stay in.
    Half dead, half numb
    She's enough to make me warm
    It's all so safe and sound. Writer/s: ADAM S. GARDNER, BRIAN A. ROSENWORCEL, RYAN MILLER
