three sets
in a box car
with a ticket to ride across America
and a license to drive off a kickstart heart
five years
on a rented tux
and a magazine left on the dashboard
call you up on a hunch just to catch your thoughts

and i said i'll be your best friend
and this is just the start
of something much more beautiful

when the stars fall
well it's over
and we're gone
when the street lights stand around us
fade with dawn
i'll be standing there beside you
i'll be standing there to remind you

i wanna get a piece of the action
while the iron's still hot
i'm convinced that the game's been played just the same
but we're playin the large part
have you ever been
on a spaceship
guided like a rocket on a trip to Mars
where the ships just a plain
and the plain's just the same
as a missile guided wish built on a billion stars
