When I was running out of time   I turned it into a dream   And you went drifting into my mind   Things ain't the way that they seem   I turn you into a dream   And make it all go away   You know your hair looks different when you wear it that way   You've got a painted face and a body made of clay   You are my super star      They will fill you with big ideas   They'll hang your heart in the sky   I know you want to save the world   How long have you been that high   How long have you been that high   And did you make it all go away   You know your eyes look different when you look the other way   You've got a cheating heart bleeding emeralds everyday   You are a shooting star      Things ain't the same as when we was young   They hung us from shooting stars   Let's tell the world we're doing fine   I know how lucky we are   I know how lucky we are   To make it all go away   You know this world is topsy-turvy in days like today   We got a million souls looking for a place to stay   Each one a shooting star
