If we were all stars
They would look at us all
beautiful
Dancing in bars
All flawless and youthful
No sign of aging
zero grey hair
vision amazing
look up and stare
forever gazing
going nowhere
If we were all stars
They would all wana join
us
Out every night so it’s
hard to avoid us
Solo we so glow
Brighter in groups
Mates shine around us
Stars in cahoots
Like check out Orion, a
right bunch of lads
The Big Dipper boys all
hipsters and cads
Then Cassiopeia all
glamour and cool
The Great Bear God bless
em, all acting the fool
But it’s ok we know them,
they went to our school
If we were all stars
They would look up and
wonder
Who’s making that racket?
Who’s making it thunder?
A right royal rumble like
we own the place
A body invincible floating
in space
Where no-one can stop us,
and why would they try?
A cool bunch of fuckers,
it’s not gona fly
You wana see squad goals,
look in the sky
If we were all stars
Then we’d wonder why
some of us sometimes
Would have to die
Our friend was a shooting
star
You should’ve seen him
Eyes of a movie star,
smile always beaming
Arms of a hulk were more
likely to hug
If your life was a
shooting pain he was the drug
Like yeh, we all twinkle
But he was spectacular
Hard to describe him
without the vernacular
Voice of an angel
Charm of the devil
Just wish he had slowed
down on his way to heaven
Hope God’s got a guitar
turned up to 11.
They’ll ask us about him
And we’ll do our best
But it’s hard to explain a
thumping in your chest
He was different, I guess
Think you just had to be
there
Scorching the sky
How and why, what do we
care?
We just took it in
And were grateful to be
there
To witness a wonder
A memory we share
If we were all stars
Would we know what to do?
When left with a black
hole
Where used to be you
Would we keep on shining?
I guess we’d have to
If we were all stars
Beaming top to bottom
The brightest of all of us
Never forgotten
