Baby, your deal is surreal just like lightning, streakin' on
Heaven still is a state of mind, where did we go wrong?
What happened to those old convictions?
Went up in smoke
Baby, while your back breaks slowly
By the skin of your teeth you'll be under their thumb

Moving from this state of friction
We all got stars in our eyes
But you know by now your one restriction
Is at the edge of the sky

Keep shining like a new star
Shining like a new star
Baby we better start
'Cause baby we're alive (new star)

Shadows are still when the will
Has no strength left to carry on
You're flat on you back with your heart attack
Where the hell have you gone?

The pressure and pain, all the fire and ice
when you're playing a game, with the rats and the mice
While your back breaks slowly
By the skin of your teeth You'll be under their thumb

New star
Shining like a new star
Baby we better start
'Cause baby we're alive (new star)
New star
Shining like a new star
Baby we better start
'Cause baby we're alive (new star)

Dreaming so clever in all kinds of weather
Where did you mention that you buried your treasure?
After the pleasure of givin' is gone
We'll be as one under the same sun

Sun

Shining like a new star
Shining like a new star
Shining like a new star
Shining like a new star

New star (shining like a new star)
Shining like a new star (shining like a new star)
Baby we better start (shining like a new star)
'Cause baby we're alive (new star) (shining like a new star)
New star (shining like a new star)
Shining like a new star (shining like a new star)
Baby we better start (baby we better start)
'Cause baby we're alive (new star) (shining like a new star)

'Cause baby we're alive
'Cause baby we're alive
'Cause baby we're alive
'Cause baby we're alive
'Cause baby we're alive
'Cause baby we're alive
'Cause baby we're alive
'Cause baby we're alive
'Cause baby we're alive
'Cause baby we're alive
