Startruck

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

First child

and a showbiz son

Always hide

where you come from

Mother got out rehab

And I was born

I was starstruck

When I was young

It's never too soon

To tread the boards

I was in Vaudeville

At age gave

My career took

Its first nosedive

I've been starstruck

All my life

Starstruck,

starstruck over you

Starstruck,

I'm struck dumb by you

Starstruck,

I struck out of luck

I was always starstruck

Can't get an agent

For a child star

My act effete and failing

So I moved

To the old backlot

Where I exercise daily

CHORUS

Now you're between

A peak time show

I hear you're now married

She was born to be seen

Not to be carried

CHORUS
