Lyrics of Placebo's "The Movie On Your Eyelids"





Placebo - The Movie On Your Eyelids

I always watch you when you're dreaming
Because I know it's not of me
I smoke a dozen cancer sticks
Imagine there are two or three ways
To make you love me
And not dream of someone else
Become the movie on your eyelids

The reflection of yourself
The reflection of yourself

I cry when I listen to your breathing
Because I know there's nothing else
The conscious of that crushing feeling
To know there's no connection left
That we both go through the motions
That we're both living somewhere else
That the movie on your eyelids
Is no reflection of myself
Is no reflection of myself
Is no reflection of myself

I wanna be, I wanna be your movie...
I wanna be, I wanna be your movie...

Why can't you be me?
Why can't you be me?
Why can't you be me?
Why can't you be me?
Be me, be me, be me..

Vocabulary:
dozen - a collection of twelve objects.
eyelids - The cover of the eye; that portion of movable skin with which an animal covers or uncovers the eyeball at pleasure.
conscious - knowing and perceiving; having awareness of surroundings and sensations and thoughts

Lyrics of Placebo's Kitty Litter




Placebo - "Kitty Litter"


The way you're dancing
Makes me come alive
Makes me shiver and perspire
Your surreptitious glancing
The way you crack a smile
Nearly start a fire

So move closer
Want to feel your touch
So come over
Come on

Love of mine
This fortress in our hearts
Feels much weaker
Now we're apart
Love of mine
This fortress in our hearts
Comes crashing down

I need a change of skin
I need a change

The way you're moving
Makes me start to sigh
Makes you all that I desire
I shiver off my jeans and I'm so unsatisfied
You're all that I require

So move closer
Gotta feel your touch
So come over
Come on

So move closer
Gotta feel your touch
So come over
Come on

Love of mine
This fortress in our hearts
Feels much weaker
Now we're apart
Love of mine
This fortress in our hearts
Comes crashing down

I need a change of skin
I need a change

I need a change, I need a change of skin
I need a change, I need a change of skin
I need a change, I need a change of skin
I need a change, I need a change of skin

Love of mine
This fortress in our hearts
Feels much weaker
Now we're apart
Love of mine
This fortress in our hearts
Comes crashing down
