Rocky Took A Lover

He said, 'I wanna shine in the eye of Orion
But I drove my soul through the Black Hole!'
She said, 'That's a wonderful way to wake me
But you weren't so nice last night
You're such an asshole when you're drunk'
And he said, 'At least I'm okay in the mornings'

He said, 'The three wise men came a long way
Following that pin hole in the sky
Yeah that one right there'
She said, 'I don't believe in any old Jesus
As if there was a God, then why is my arse the perfect height for kicking?'

And he said, 'I'll shine for you'
He said, 'I'll burn for you
I'll shine for you
Yeah, that's what I'll do'

He said, 'They're like headlights in the rear view mirror
They're closer that they seem
And from this gutter, we're still staring at the stars'
She said, 'Would ya go away and shite
Last night all you did was curse those stars
You said they sang to you of hope'

He said, 'The sun gives life, and it takes it away
But like all the greats, it'll burn out someday'
She said, 'I don't mind
No, I don't want to get bored
I don't want to end up beached on this shore
I want to be that star
I want to be that star
Oh, let me be that star
I want to be that star

Then I can shine for you,
Then I can burn for you
I'll shine for you
That's what I'll do'

That's what I'll do
That's what I'll do
That's what I'll do
That's what I'll do
