Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
I know a movie star
I've got her plastered to my wall.
Just like we're dear old friends
Like she already knows me.
She's as perfect as she seems,
Lifts me right out the mezzanine.
I finally fell in love,
I'd been waiting forever.
Four, three, two, one
When out the barrel of a gun
Keep my head way down.
Stay out I'll stay in.
Half dead, half numb
She's enough to make me warm
It's all so safe and sound.
Lie back and fast asleep
If you could see what I could see.
Drip drop a lovely dream.
Goddamn you movie star,
Can't you just stay a minute more.
We'd be the best of friends
You could stay here forever.
Four, three, two, one
When out the barrel of a gun
Keep my head way down.
Stay out I'll stay in.
Half dead, half numb
She's enough to make me warm
It's all so safe and sound.
She will be sweet on me
Just like a mystery.
It's not so hard to see
If I'm not mistaken.
She comes from far away
Gets closer everyday.
And all that I can say
She's all I want and all that I live for.
Four, three, two, one
When out the barrel of a gun
Keep my head way down.
Stay out I'll stay in.
Half dead, half numb
She's enough to make me warm
It's all so safe and sound.
I've got her plastered to my wall.
Just like we're dear old friends
Like she already knows me.
She's as perfect as she seems,
Lifts me right out the mezzanine.
I finally fell in love,
I'd been waiting forever.
Four, three, two, one
When out the barrel of a gun
Keep my head way down.
Stay out I'll stay in.
Half dead, half numb
She's enough to make me warm
It's all so safe and sound.
Lie back and fast asleep
If you could see what I could see.
Drip drop a lovely dream.
Goddamn you movie star,
Can't you just stay a minute more.
We'd be the best of friends
You could stay here forever.
Four, three, two, one
When out the barrel of a gun
Keep my head way down.
Stay out I'll stay in.
Half dead, half numb
She's enough to make me warm
It's all so safe and sound.
She will be sweet on me
Just like a mystery.
It's not so hard to see
If I'm not mistaken.

And all that I can say
She's all I want and all that I live for.

Half dead, half numb
She's enough to make me warm
It's all so safe and sound.

He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

I think everyones opinions are valid as it is obvious the Band members confirmed its "about masterbation". Personally I don't think its about obsession or infatuation because guys masterbate to actresses all the time, it doesn't mean they are "obsessed". Guys don't need to be obsessed w/ someone to "rub one out to her". I think the main idea is his friends want him to "GO OUT" and hes like "stay out, I'll stay in" and pleasure myself.
