You think that it’s easy Being a star Not the kind in the movies I’m 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 your telescope You’d never know me But ten 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 alone is where I’ve been
Up here, alone Alone, up here
You know it’s always nighttime In the Milky Way A lot of dreaming down-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 And you make all your wishes On my demise But I had a wish, too 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 too
