Starry Eyed/Video Games (Live) Lyrics by Laura Benanti

In Constant Search of the Right Kind of Attention (Live at 54 Below)

2013

Handlebars that I let go, let go for anyone
Take me in and I'll throw out my heart and get a new one
Next thing, we're touching
Next thing, we're touching
You look at me, it's like you hit me with lightning
So we fall into colors, colors and carousels
Fall head first, like paper planes and playground games
Next thing, we're touching
Next thing, we're touching
You look at me, it's like you hit me with lightning
Oh, everybody's starry-eyed
And everybody glows
Oh, everybody's starry-eyed
And everybody knows
Oh, everybody's starry-eyed
And my body goes
Swinging in the backyard, pull up in his fast car
Whistling my name
You open up a beer and you say, get over here
And play a video game
I'm in his favorite sun dress, watching me get undressed
Take your body downtown
I say you the bestest, lean in for a big kiss
Put his favorite perfume on
And play a video game
It's you, it's you, it's all for you
Everything I do
I tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on Earth with you
Tell me all the things you wanna do
I hear that you like the bad girls
Honey, is that true?
Better than I ever even knew
They say that the world is built for two
And only worth living if somebody is loving you
And now you do
So we burst into colors, colors and carousels
He holds me in his big arms
Drunk, and I am seeing stars
This is all I think of
I say you the best and suddenly we're touching
This is all I think of
Oh, everybody's starry-eyed
I tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on Earth with you
It's you, it's all for you
Everything I do
I tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on Earth with you
(Next thing, we're touching)
And everybody knows
Oh, everybody
Honey, is this true?
Better than I ever even knew
They say that the world is built for two
And only worth living if somebody is loving you
And now you do
(spoken)
Thank you! Todd Almond! Yes. Todd Almond and two kids.
