Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Baby, your deal is surreal just like lightning streakin' on
Heaven still is a state of mind, where did we go wrong?
What happened to those old convictions? Went up in smoke
Baby, while your back breaks slowly by the skin of your teeth
You'll be under their thumb
[Verse 2]
Moving from this state of friction
We all got stars in our eyes
But you know by now your one restriction
Is at the edge of the sky
[Verse 3]
Keep shining like a new star
Shining like a new star
Baby, we've a head start
'Cause, baby, we're alive
(New star)
[Verse 4]
Shadows are still when the will has no strength left to carry on
You're flat on your back with your heart attack
Where the hell have you gone?
The pressure and pain, all the fire and ice
When you're playing a game with the rats and the mice
But while your back breaks slowly by the skin of your teeth
You'll be under their thumb
[Verse 5]
New star
Shining like a new star
Baby, we've a head start
'Cause, baby, we're alive
(New star)
[Verse 6]
New star
Shining like a new star
Baby, we've a head start
'Cause baby we're alive
(New star)
[Verse 7]
Dreaming so clever in all kinds of weather
Where did you mention that you'd buried your treasure?
After the pleasure of givin' is gone
We'll be as one under the same sun
Sun
[Verse 8]
Shining like a new star
Shining like a new star
Shining like a new star
Shining like a new star
[Verse 9]
New star
Shining like a new star
Baby, we've a head start
'Cause baby we're alive
(New star)
[Verse 10]
New star
Shining like a new star
Baby, we've a head start
'Cause, baby, we're alive
'Cause, baby, we're alive
'Cause, baby, we're alive
[Verse 11]
'Cause, baby, we're alive
'Cause, baby, we're alive
'Cause, baby, we're alive
'Cause, baby, we're alive
[Verse 12]
'Cause, baby, we're alive
'Cause, baby, we're alive
'Cause, baby, we're alive
