All I want is to turn the whole world on,
Just for a moment, for a moment.
All I want is to turn the whole world on,
Just for a moment, for a moment.

It's high time to invest in self-indulgent mess,
I'll set the world on fire with nothing but a cigarette.
Cause you can take a photograph and it won't keep me here,
A picture says a thousand words about this love affair.

All I want is to turn the whole world on,
Just for a moment, for a moment.
All I want is to turn the whole world on,
Just for a moment, for a moment.

So what've I got to lose, excess I won't refuse,
I'll take the blame for everything except the drug abuse.
You can take a photograph but it won't keep me here,
A picture spreads a thousand lies about this love affair.

All I want is to turn the whole world on,
Just for a moment, for a moment.
All I want is to turn the whole world on,
Just for a moment, for a moment.

The whole wide world is waiting in my shadow,
For me to make my move, so it can follow suit.
Well this must be what dreams are made of,
A canvas soaked in wax and paper, is that alright?

I've taken such a fragile piece of nothing
And turned it into something, is that alright?
I wonder if it's possible to have a love affair,
That lasts a life-time, is that alright?

Cause you can take a photograph, but it won't keep me here.

All I want is to turn the whole world on,
Just for a moment, for a moment.
All I want is to turn the whole world on,
Just for a moment, for a moment.
