Gonna make you a star
And show the world your green, green eyes
See your smiling face
Everywhere, everyplace

We could turn it upside down
We could turn it inside out
We'll give you everything
Things that you'd never need,
Things that you'd never dream
Things like eternity
Gonna make you a star

Make you a star
Make you a star
Gonna make you a star
You stare down at the emptiness
You shake us from our poisonous
Slumbering and stuttering
So start and stop the fall
?coarse masses? down the hall
We'll blow you through the door
Into a million bits
We'll reassemble it
That's how we'll make a hit
Gonna make you a star
Make you a star
Make you a star

So we were standing, like the last rock band on the planet
Of vapor trails and alpine skies
It's all green fields, yellow flowers, and brown liquor
Oh brown liquor

Bug's got a job in the catskills
Met some fraulein along the way
Took her home, but then she had an episode
Though it did disturb him, he was strangely compelled

Seven days will i've been waiting
Seven days and seven nights
Seven days will i've been dreaming
Of the real thing
Of the real thing
So we were standing around, fading in and out of fashion
While amerikids dug eurobeats
Well we know all of the doormen and other bartendresses
And there ain't nothing that you don't got that we don't need
Did i say that right?
Seven days will i've been waiting
Seven days and seven nights
Seven days will i've been dreaming
Of the real thing
Of the real thing

Bm where are my f#7(bass c#) god's green g grasses? f#7
Bm yellow blue c#m fishes of the g sea f#7
G where are f#7 you, my sweet bm darling? g
My sweet darling, i'll f#7 drown in miser-bm-y f#7

And on the golden days of summer
Robbed from pharoah's ancient tombs
And the silver hours, they are mashed and sour
My sweet darling, where have you gone?

Break

Past the dead and awkward factory
Anthracite grey on cobblestone
And the sooted flowers, on gentleman's towers
My sweet darling, where have you gone?

"only when i laugh, does it hurt."
The doctor says, "please, son, remove your skirt."
"i'd be glad to comply, but i'm not wearing one."
The doctor says, "that's strange, nor am i."

A scotsman throws a pole into the air
The alderman all vote in some affair
The mayor, he abstained--and ain't that strange
He's still a bachelor? perhaps he's gay.

A corpse is laid out neatly on a slab
Professor's working madly in his lab
The assistant files her nails and checks her hair
There's just a hint of danger in the air

There's just a hint of danger in the air
No one is alarmed nor seems to care
Everyone is happy, we're all fine
We all fall in love all the time

Yeah, we all fall in love from a plane
With the stewardess, she serves us in our dreams
When we wake, we find that it has rained
When it rains, it lulls us back to sleep

So rest your weary eyes and go to sleep
Or rest your weary head and come to me
Move your lips and sing this lullabye
Move your lips and sing this lullabye

This holy circus camp
Aladdin and his lamp
A feverish daydreams and sway de loca
My face in magazines
The lesbian james dean
I got all i ever wanted

So i don't mind saying
This is how the good life's supposed to be
The good life for you, for me
Well i don't mind saying
This is how the good life's supposed to be
The good life for you, for me
Down miles of empty road
With acolytes in tow
You could be persephone
A pigeon through the glass
A drunken trapeze act
Well you got all you ever wanted
So i don't mind saying
This is how the good life's supposed to be
The good life for you, for me
Well i don't mind saying
This is how the good life's supposed to be
The good life for you, for me

The devil will send demons to fly around your wedding day
Yeah, the devil will send demons to fly around your wedding day
Don't send no invitation, i don't have much to say

Well, i heard about your man, and i will laugh at him sometime
Yeah, i heard about your man, and i will laugh at him sometime
Cuz i can see his sad day coming when your lies will burn him blind

Well, i'm standing in the churchyard, standing here without a sound
Yeah, i'm standing in the churchyard, standing here without a sound
Wishing i'd been born the kind of man could go in and shoot you down

The devil will send demons to fly around your wedding day
Yeah, the devil will send demons to fly around your wedding day
Well they'll strike you down at midnight, and a-carry me away

Well is it am such a sin to linger with the maga-f-zines c-g
I want a am chocolate bar made with something f sweet c-g
I want a am stranger with your face
So i d followed her to this place
It's f been so long - i've g been around the world am

I say hello to howie, say hello to spike
'cause the canals in camden are filled with bottles tonight
To watch the ripples fade away
To feel the rain upon my head
So i could say, i've been around the world

And how i wish i was in your apartment tonight
To hear the rain come down, down upon your roof
To see your clothes beside, clothes beside your bed
To lightly listen to your breath
Instead, i've been, i've been around the world

Break

And how i wish i was in your bed tonight
To taste the salt upon, salt upon your neck
To feel your body press, pressing down on me
Instead of being, i've been around the world

Yeah i've f been around,
I've g been around the world am
Yeah i've f been around,
I've g been around the world am
