Lyrics

Shine

Put on your blindfold

And a dress that's tight

And come with me

On a mystery night

Open your eyes

Follow our stars under a painted sky

We'll leave the world behind

We're learning to fly

We used to get by

Forget the pictures on your TV screen

We'll steal the visions

That you keep for your dreams

You can turn me on

I was blind and I saw the light

My angel coming

In a brilliant white

Shine for me

You've been hanging from a rope of mediocrity

Strung up by your insecurities

You can shine for me

Somebody has to

Shine for me

It's difficult not to

Shine for me

Follow our stars under a painted sky

We'll leave the world behind

We're learning to fly

We used to get by

Forget the pictures on your TV screen

We'll steal the visions

That you keep for your dreams

You can turn me on

You've been hanging from a rope of mediocrity

Strung up by your insecurities

You can shine for me

Somebody has to

Shine for me

It's difficult not to

Shine for me

Somebody has to

Shine for me

It's difficult not to

Shine for me
