“Let's go all
The way tonight.
No regrets, just love.
We can dance, until we die,
You and I,
We'll be young forever.You make me
Feel like I'm living a
Teenage dream.
The way you turn me on,
I can't sleep.
Let's run away and
Don't ever look back,
Don't ever look back.”

that let me into bluebeard's study; because he would make love to me
I am sending back the key;
in his eye's darkroom I can see
my X-rayed heart, dissected body:
I am sending back the key
that let me into bluebeard s study.”
