Stars

Gonna build a rocket,
Anytime you want it,
Paint it pretty colours,
Gonna light it up and take us to the moon,
That’s what I’m gonna do,
That’s what I’m gonna
Save up all the paper,
Gonna need it later,
Maybe take a minute,
To get in my head directions all the way,
You want to get away,
I’m taking you
Through the eyes of the blackhole
And the open doors,
Through the cracks in the pavement
And conversation,
From the top of the empire
To a state unknown,
If I said that I’m leaving,
Just got to hang on
Cause we’re just stars,
Trying get back to where we’re from,
One by one
We’re gonna leave this planet,
So don’t look back,
Cause you know that it’s all just time,
When you got nothing on your mind,
You made it
Somewhere in the future,
Talk about forever,
Take yourself a picture,
Waiting in the rain for a postcard from the sun,
The one that never comes,
The one that never shows,
The one that never
Is building something
From the heart of the wreckage
In another zone.
Are we losing our balance?
I think we’ve got vertigo.
From the top of the empire
To a state unknown,
If I tell you I’m leaving,
Just got to hang on
Cause we’re just stars,
Trying get back to where we’re from,
One by one
We’re gonna leave this planet,
So don’t look back,
Cause you know that it’s all just time,
When you got nothing on your mind,
You made it
From the top of the empire
To a state unknown.
Are we losing our balance?
I think we got vertigo.
Cause we’re just stars,
Trying get back to where we’re from,
One by one
We’re gonna leave this planet.
So don’t look back,
Cause you know that it’s all just time,
When you got nothing on your mind,
You made it
Cause we’re just stars,
Trying get back to where we’re from,
One by one
We’re gonna leave this planet.
So don’t look back,
Cause you know that it’s all just time
When you’ve got nothing on your mind
You’ve made it.
