Well, the years start comingAnd they don't stop comingFed to the rules and I hit the ground runningDidn't make sense not to live for funYour brain gets smart, but your head gets dumb
So much to do, so much to seeSo what's wrong with taking the back streets?You'll never know if you don't goYou'll never shine if you don't glow
Hey now, you're an all starGet your game on, go playHey now, you're a rock starGet the show on, get paidAnd all that glitters is goldOnly shooting stars break the mold
It's a cool place and they say it gets colderYou're bundled up now, wait 'til you get olderBut the meteor men beg to differJudging by the hole in the satellite picture

Hey now, you're an all starGet your game on, go playHey now, you're a rock starGet the show on, get paidAll that glitters is goldOnly shooting stars break the mold

Hey now, you're an all starGet your game on, go playHey now, you're a rock starGet the show on, get paidAnd all that glitters is goldOnly shooting stars
Somebody once asked"Could I spare some change for gas?I need to get myself away from this place"I said, "Yep, what a conceptI could use a little fuel myself"And we could all use a little change
Well, the years start comingAnd they don't stop comingFed to the rules and I hit the ground runningDidn't make sense not to live for funYour brain gets smart, but your head gets dumb
So much to do, so much to seeSo what's wrong with taking the back streets?You'll never know if you don't go (go!)You'll never shine if you don't glow
Hey now, you're an all starGet your game on, go playHey now, you're a rock starGet the show on, get paid
And all that glitters is goldOnly shooting stars break the moldAnd all that glitters is goldOnly shooting stars break the mold
