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

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'

He said, 'I will shine for you

That's what I'll do'

He said 'They're like headlights

In the rear view mirror

They're closer than they seem

And from this gutter we're still staring at the stars'

She said 'Would ya go ape shite

Last night all you did was curse those stars

Cuz 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, I don't wanna get bored

I don't wanna end up beached on this shore

I wanna be that star

I wanna be that star

Oh, let me be that star

I wanna be that star

And then I can shine for you

And then I can burn for you

And then I can shine for you

That's what I'll do.'
