Velvet Goldmine movie - The Whole Shebang lyrics

Song by Grant Lee Buffalo<br /><br>

Darling, you can't live your life<br>

Singing songs in exile<br>

You were born for stardom's crown<br>

And not for self-denial<br>

So don't you close the door on fate<br>

When she comes to call<br>

And tell her that you'll join her there<br>

At the masquerader's ball<br>

Funny how some people never love at all<br>

<br>

We'll take the whole shebang<br>

All or nothing, anything<br>

Ecstasy's the birthright of our gang<br>

We'll take the whole shebang<br>

Free your heart of guilt and shame<br>

Come and claim what's yours<br>

The whole shebang<br>

<br>

Nothing on this earth could hold you prisoner, my dear<br>

Except for contemplations evil brother, love is feared<br>

But love is extra-terrestrial<br>

And love falls from the stars<br>

Like Maxwell Demon's silver disk<br>

Into this world of ours<br>

Funny how we keep on loving, true love power<br>

<br>

We'll take the whole shebang<br>

All or nothing, anything<br>

Ecstasy's the birthright of our gang<br>

We'll take the whole shebang<br>

Free your heart of guilt and shame<br>

Come and claim what's yours<br>

The whole shebang<br>

<br>

Kick up your heels and paint your face<br>

Wave goodbye to yesteryear<br>

We can swing in outer space<br>

Or from the chandeliers<br>

Though sometimes it breaks my heart, I hide my tears<br>

<br>

We'll take the whole shebang<br>

All or nothing, anything<br>

Ecstasy's the birthright of our gang<br>

We'll take the whole shebang<br>

Free your heart of guilt and shame<br>

Come and claim what's yours<br>

The whole shebang<br>

<br>
