Etta Marcus - Theatre Lyrics

Etta Marcus Lyrics

"Theatre"

I rehearse a work of theater for you
Come alive
I'll play dead tonight
I'll remember each line
Go again, I won't mind
I would fake it every time
I could stop pretending, quit my dreaming
Turn on the lights
I'm holding onto
Every word I made up for you
I'm not flesh, I'm not blood
I am plastic, you are God

I wanna be loved, I wanna be loved
Like right out of a movie
Where I sweep you up
I wanna be loved, I wanna be loved
Like right out of a movie
Where I am the star
Yes, I'll be the star

I'll put on a show and watch it with you
Touch my thigh
I could blush, I'm so shy
Rest your head on my side
We could stay in my mind
We could be what we like

I wanna be loved, I wanna be loved
Like right out of a movie
Where I sweep you up
I wanna be loved, I wanna be loved

Call me baby
When you forget my name
I'm just glad that you came
Call me baby
Let me die on the stage
Let the orchestra play
Let the orchestra play
