COUNTING STARS Exercises

By ONE REPUBLIC

Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard,
Said, no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars, yeah we'll be counting stars

I see this life like a swinging vine
Swing my heart across the line
And my face is flashing signs
Seek it out and you shall find
Old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
I don't think the world is sold
I'm just doing what we're told
I feel something so right
Doing the wrong thing
I feel something so wrong
Doing the right thing
I couldn't lie, coudn't lie, couldn't lie
Everything that kills me makes me feel alive

Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard,
Said, no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
(x2)


I feel the love and I feel it burn
Down this river, every turn
Hope is a four-letter word
Make that money, watch it burn
Old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
I don't think the world is sold
I'm just doing what we're told
I feel something so wrong
Doing the right thing
I couldn't lie, coudn't lie, couldn't lie
Everything that downs me makes me wanna fly

Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard,
Said, no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be counting stars

(x2)

Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons are learned

(repeat)

Everything that kills me makes feel alive

Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard,
Said, no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
(x2)

Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons are learned

The film boasts prominent stars of the 1990s European circuit, including Anita Blond and Dalila, who were frequently cast in Italian, French, and German co-productions due to their crossover appeal in multiple markets.

According to reviews on the Internet Movie Database (IMDb) , the film displays the typical structural strengths and flaws of its mid-90s production cycle. The feature leverages scenic European backdrops to add a layer of sophistication, separating it from the low-budget American studio productions of the same timeframe.

The association with Opera Quarta points to a specific era of European adult cinema where filmmakers attempted to bridge the gap between high-production art films and explicit pornography. Die Versklavte Ehefrau - Opera Quarta - La Mogl...
