Rocky Took a Lover

He said, 'I wanna shine in the eye of Orion

But I drove my soul through the Black Hole!'

She said, 'That's a wonderful way to wake me

But you weren't so nice last night

You're such an asshole when you're drunk'

And he said, 'At least I'm okay in the mornings'

He said, 'The three wise men came a long way

Following that pin hole in the sky

Yeah that one right there'

She said, 'I don't believe in any old Jesus

As if there was a God, then why is my arse the perfect height for kicking?'

And he said, 'I'll shine for you'

He said, 'I'll burn for you

I'll shine for you

Yeah, that's what I'll do'

He said, 'They're like headlights in the rear view mirror

They're closer that they seem

And from this gutter, we're still staring at the stars'

She said, 'Would ya go away and shite

Last night all you did was curse those stars

You said they sang to you of hope'

He said, 'The sun gives life, and it takes it away

But like all the greats, it'll burn out someday'

She said, 'I don't mind

No, I don't want to get bored

I don't want to end up beached on this shore

I want to be that star

I want to be that star

Oh, let me be that star

I want to be that star

Then I can shine for you

Then I can burn for you

I'll shine for you

That's what I'll do'

That's what I'll do

That's what I'll do

That's what I'll do

That's what I'll do
