You think that it's easy
Being a star
Not the kind in the dark
Night sky above you
A flickering light
But i got typical problems
I've been left hangin' here tonight
You'd never see me
With yout telescope
You'd never know me
But tem thousand years ago
I started tryin to reach you
I been tryin to arrive
A lotta lightyears to go thru
A lotta galaxies to go by
I'm not just another pretty face
On a star
I shake and i shiver here up in space
But i do my part
Not in a constellation
No i never quite fit in
I got typical problems
Up here lone is where i've been
Up here, alone
Alone, up alone
You know it's always nighttime
It the milky way
A loto f dreaming doen-time
About my younger days
I was really somethin'
I was gonna become a sun
I got typical problems
I wanna tell ya 'bout every one
And oh, i'm not just another pretty
Face
On a star
I shake and i shiver here up in space
But i do my part
Andy ou make all your wishes
On my demise
But i had a wish, tôo
To be your morning light
You'd wake up to me
I'd wake up next to you
And your typical problems
Yeah, i got problems tôo
We do. we do. we do. we do
