When I was running out of time
|
I turned it into a dream
|
And you went drifting into my mind
|
Things ain't the way that they seem
|
I turn you into a dream
|
And make it all go away
|
You know your hair looks different when you wear it that way
|
You've got a painted face and a body made of clay
|
You are my super star
|
|
They will fill you with big ideas
|
They'll hang your heart in the sky
|
I know you want to save the world
|
How long have you been that high
|
How long have you been that high
|
And did you make it all go away
|
You know your eyes look different when you look the other way
|
You've got a cheating heart bleeding emeralds everyday
|
You are a shooting star
|
|
Things ain't the same as when we was young
|
They hung us from shooting stars
|
Let's tell the world we're doing fine
|
I know how lucky we are
|
I know how lucky we are
|
To make it all go away
|
You know this world is topsy-turvy in days like today
|
We got a million souls looking for a place to stay
|
Each one a shooting star
|
