When the VJ shoots the beam I take my partner from the screen And hold her close I hold her close One more chance to make it right Holding hands in black and white I'll meet you there, I'll meet you there Leave my mind back in my room Maybe I will blow it soon and fall in love At the videotheque (the videotheque) We can dance forever At the videotheque (the videotheque) We control it all At the videotheque (the videotheque) Ghosts are only lovers on the screen Only pictures on the wall They don't mean a thing at all And I don't care When the visions start to form The same illusion takes us all And you are there you are there Slowly senses leaving me Once the two are in 3D we play the game At the videotheque (the videotheque) We can dance forever At the videotheque (the videotheque) We can fall in love At the videotheque (the videotheque) Ghosts are only lovers on the screen The videotheque The videotheque The videotheque only ghosts are lovers on the screen Videotheque
