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
