Shooting 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.
All the people had their share of the glory
Looking out after you
It's just a story about winners and glory
And you know that it's true
Ah ha, oh yeah, you're just a shooting star
Ah ha, oh yeah, you're just a shooting star

Of a ...
And to cause more confusion, and to make this illusion
Would have gone too far
And it's my ambition, of a jacket ignition
In a cadillac metal car
Ah ha, oh yeah, you're just a shooting star
Ah ha, oh yeah, you're just a shooting star
Ah ha, oh yeah, you're just a shooting star
Ah ha, oh yeah, you're just a shooting star
You're just a shooting star
