Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Hey now, take your pills and

Hey now, make your breakfast

Hey now, comb your hair and off to work

[Verse 2]

Crash land, no illusions

No collision, no intrusion

My imagination run away

[Verse 3]

Ah, I know, I know, I know

What I am chasing

Ah, I know, I know, I know

That this is changing me

[Verse 4]

I am flying on a star in to a meteor tonight

I am flying on a star, star, star

I will make it through the day and then

The day becomes the night

I will make it through the night

[Verse 5]

Hey know, take the U-Bahn, five stops, change the station

Hey now, don't forget the change will save you

Hey now, count a thousand million people, that's astounding

Chasing through the city with their stars on bright

[Verse 6]

Ah, I know, I know, I know

What I am chasing

Ah, I know, I know, I know

That this is changing me

[Verse 7]

I am flying on a star in to a meteor tonight

I am flying on a star, star, star

I will make it through the day and then

The day becomes the night

I will make it through the night

[Verse 8]

I don't mind repeating

I am not complete

I have never been the gifted type

Hey man, tell me something

Are you off to somewhere?

Do you want to go with me tonight?

[Verse 9]

I know, I know, I know

That this is changing

Ah, we walk the streets, to feel the ground

I'm chasing Überlin

[Verse 10]

I am flying on a star in to a meteor tonight

I am flying on a star, star, star

I will make it through the day and then

The day becomes the night

I will make it through the night
