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 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 at 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
God damn you movie star, can't you just play a minute more
We'd be the best of friends, you could stay here forever

Four, three, two, one
When at 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, and gets closer everyday
And all that I can say is that she's all I want and all that I live for

Four, three, two, one
When at 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.
