Lyrics

New Killer Star

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.

See the great white scar

Over Battery Park

Then a flare glides over

But I won't look at that scar

Oh, my nuclear baby

Oh, my idiot trance

All my idiot questions

Let's face the music and dance

Don't ever say I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready

I'll never say I'm better, I'm better, I'm better

Don't ever say I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready

I'll never said I'm better, I'm better, I'm better, I'm betterthan you

All the corners of the buildings

Who but we remember these?

The sidewalks and trees

I'm thinking now

I got a better way

I discovered a star

I got a better way

Ready, set, go

I got a better way

A new killer star

I got a better way

Ready, set, go

I got a better way

The stars in your eyes

I got a better way

Ready, set, go

I got a better way

I discovered a star

I got a better way

Ready, set, go

See my life in a comic

Like the way they did the Bible

With the bubbles and action

The little details in colour

First a horseback bomber

Just a small thin chance

Like seeing Jesus on Dateline

Let's face the music and dance

Don't ever say I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready

I'll never said I'm better, I'm better, I'm better

Don't ever say I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready

I'll never said I'm better, I'm better, I'm better, I'm betterthan you

All the corners of the buildings

Who but we remember these?

The sidewalks and trees

I'm thinking now

I got a better way

I discovered a star

I got a better way

Ready, set, go

I got a better way

A new killer star

I got a better way

Ready, set, go

I got a better way

The stars in your eyes

I got a better way

Ready, set, go

I got a better way

I discovered a star

I got a better way

Ready, set, go

I got a better way

I got a better way

Ready, set, go

I got a better way

I got a better way

Ready, set, go

I got a better way

Oooh oo

I got a better way

Ready, set, go
