The Only Time

I'm drunk.
And right now i'm so in love with you.
And i don't want to think too much about what we should or shouldn't
Do.
Lay my hands on Heaven and the sun and the moon and the stars.
While the devil wants to fuck me in the back of his car.
Chorus: nothing quite like the feel of something new.
Maybe i'm all messed up.
Maybe i'm all messed up.
Maybe i'm all messed up in you.
Maybe i'm all messed up.
Maybe i'm all messed up.
Maybe i'm all messed up.
Maybe i'm all messed up in you.
Maybe i'm all messed up.
This is the only time i really feel alive.
This is the only time i really feel alive.
I swear.
I just found everything i need.
The sweat in your eyes the blood in your veins are listening to me.
Well i want to wrap it up and swim in it until i drown.
My moral standing is lying down.
Chorus

Trent Reznor, Nine Inch Nails

Cirque Du Soleil - Alegría 

This one is a misfit on my list, to be sure. But Cirque Du Soleil creates some transporting soundtracks to their supernatural performances, and this one is one of their best. It's also lodged deep in my childhood, so maybe that's why it earns a place here when it mightn't otherwise. The second version (below) has two extra tracks that are heartbreakingly beautiful.
