An aphrodisiac   For the opening act   Of this based-on-a-true-story play      Act two I'm sat on the bed   With the TV on   Coz we had run out of things to say      Now I don't like this unrequited lust   So tell me what you have on your mind      It would be a small step for man   But a giant step for my kind      A star casting shadows over land   A star but I can't run before I learn to stand      Put down your fork   We could just talk   Does the idea compute      Wait, maybe instead   We can go back to bed   And you lead me into disrepute      There are many things I wouldn't do    If you offered me loadsa moolah   But I can't think of things I wouldn't do   If you offered me ooh-la-la      A star but I can't shine on demand   A star but I can't run before I learn to stand      Star guitar      On a night like this   Of unbridled bliss   I could rid you of your shadows and doubts      But if it entails   Sleeping on nails   Sorry you can count me out      Now you're stationed like a satellite    Follow me round all the time      Tomorrow's the first day of the rest of my life   When this star comes falling from the sky      A star I knew that I'd go far   A star I'm staying exactly how I are   A star stepping lightly over quicksand   A star but I can't run before I learn to stand      I've been up all night   Looking for a light   Someone on whom I can depend   I've been here before   Face down on the floor   And next week I'll be back here again
