Paintings of dogs playing pool Smokin' cigarattes they drink 'til they drool Well we ain't so dumb, just numb And tomorrow's another year Could you tell us what happened 'cause we weren't here We've been hitchin' a ride with a big fake rubber thumb [CHORUS] And you're a star now, blinkin' bright And you drive so fast now, out of sight The ticker tape wants us to fail And the limousine just drives us to jail And the concierge can't tell us where the ladies dance But you are my friend in miles Radio waves, stations, and dials, and smiles Cities and towns, slow down [CHORUS] And you're a star now, blinkin' bright And you drive so fast now, out of sight Out of sight Out of sight [INSTRUMENTAL (haunting)] [CHORUS] And you're a star now, blinkin' bright And you drive so fast now, out of sight Out of sight Out of sight Out of sight
