Lyrics

[Verse 1]
i get home from work and you're still standing in your dressing
gown
well, what am i to do?
i know all the things around your head and what they do to
you.
[Verse 2]
what are we coming to?
what are we gonna do?
[Verse 3]
blame it on the black star
blame it on the falling sky
blame it on the satellite that beams me home.
[Verse 4]
troubled words of a troubled mind i try to understand
what is eating you.
i try to stay awake but its 58hours since that i last slept with
you
[Verse 5]
what are we coming to?
i just don't know anymore.
[Verse 6]
blame it on the black star
blame it on the falling sky
blame it on the satellite that beams me home.
[Verse 7]
i get on the train and i just stand about now that i don't think
of you.
i keep falling over i keep passing out
when i see a face like you.
[Verse 8]
what am i coming to?
i'm gonna melt down
[Verse 9]
blame it on the black star
blame it on the falling sky
blame it on the satellite that beams me home.
