Be a Star

With my out of tune guitar we walked from bar to bar

We were only 17 but we were going to be stars

Came across a man who could stop the world with a clap of his hands

Said you've got the attitude. who's got the attitude for rock?

But she was never going to be a star

She would swim rivers

And climb mountains far away

But who caught the maid and made her come?

When she was shining like the rising sun

Shining like the rising sun

You shine like the sun

So welcome to the town where drag queens made the cash

Selling kids acid tabs. we tried to find their stash

But acid's no good. so i got over that. i'm much too old for taking crap

And who's got the attitude for ice now?

Oh he was never meant to be a boy

He would climb rivers

And swim mountains the wrong way

But who caught the babe and made him cry?

Oh i wanted you but your eyes don't shine like they used to

God i want it all but you guys don't like all the old songs

Old songs, new songs, everybody write, write on

Little honey we can write all night, write on

As long as you've got stars in your eyes you keep me coming back to you

Keep me coming, keep, keep me coming

Oh i wanted you but your eyes don't shine like they used to

God i want it all but you guys don't like all the old songs

So write on, write on.

As long as you've got stars in your eyes you keep me coming back to you

Oh she was never going to be a star

But who has got the attitude from love anyway?
