Amber Waves

Lyrics

Well, he lit you up like Amber Waves in his movie show
 He fixed you up real good till I don't know you any more
 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 any more, 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 any more, just leave it alone
 But if you're by and you have the time
 Tell the Northern Lights to keep shining
 Oh, lately it seems like they're drowning"
 So I went by 'cause I had the time
 Told the Northern Lights to keep shining
 They told me to tell you they're waving
