Star

I wish that I could be a bright star--

Wish that I could be your star upon a screen.

It’s all that I need.

We could sit and watch ourselves all day.

We could sit and watch Hollywood fade away

And into our dreams.

And I couldn’t pass it by.

When I tried, I began to lose my mind.

I never thought that I could be so free.

I never thought that it could be so easy

To be what I see.

And I couldn’t pass it by.

When I tried, I began to lose my mind.

In foreign films we could see ourselves

In mystic lands with silver helmets.

We could be dreaming of the shots we take.

We couldn’t see them ‘cause we’re not awake.

Someday I’ll want to be just what you are.

Someday you’ll want to be a normal guy like me,

But for now we can dream.
