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
