Her life is a show   One act follows the other everywhere she goes   She takes the leading role   She never plays herself   Save for the time she's on the stage      Color her black or white   Now either one reflects the teardrops   One extreme for the other   Nothing in between   Color her white for the princess she could be   Color her black for the troubled child she plays so well   Well she's dancing through hell on a dream      And blue is soul of the one   Reaching for the man that she hasn't got yet   And holding on to those hearts for lost causes   She could be so bright   But she's reaching for us all   Color her blue for the loneliness she feels   She's hiding her heart in the sky      And this is a thursday afternoon   It's just another thursday afternoon   It's just another thursday afternoon      Color me grey   I'm a little bit of everything today   And I'm not sure just where I'm going   Color me grey   Wishing I was something more of distinction      Color us all 'cause we're just stars   Wishing our lives away   Into the distance   And out of existence      Color her black or white   Color her blue   Or color me grey   Color us all - we're stars   Wishing our lives away   Now we're stars
