An aphrodisiac
For the opening act
Of this based-on-a-true-story play
Act two I'm sat on the bed
With the TV on
Coz we had run out of things to say
Now I don't like this unrequited lust
So tell me what you have on your mind
It would be a small step for man
But a giant step for my kind
A star casting shadows over land
A star but I can't run before I learn to stand
Put down your fork
We could just talk
Does the idea compute
Wait, maybe instead
We can go back to bed
And you lead me into disrepute
There are many things I wouldn't do
If you offered me loadsa moolah
But I can't think of things I wouldn't do
If you offered me ooh-la-la
A star but I can't shine on demand
A star but I can't run before I learn to stand
Star guitar
On a night like this
Of unbridled bliss
I could rid you of your shadows and doubts
But if it entails
Sleeping on nails
Sorry you can count me out
Now you're stationed like a satellite
Follow me round all the time
Tomorrow's the first day of the rest of my life
When this star comes falling from the sky
A star I knew that I'd go far
A star I'm staying exactly how I are
A star stepping lightly over quicksand
A star but I can't run before I learn to stand
I've been up all night
Looking for a light
Someone on whom I can depend
I've been here before
Face down on the floor
And next week I'll be back here again
