TAR ON THE SIDEWALK
(JOEY KITTEN)
LOOKIN’ TO THE SKY AT NIGHTS,
STARIN’ AT THE STARS.
A TEN-YEAR-OLD KID’S DREAM ABOUT
A SPACESHIP FROM THE MARS
SCHOOL SUCKS, DAD’S GONE
HE FOUND A NEW ONE
AND MOM IS WORKING HARD
AFTER 18 YOU WENT INTO THE CITY
TO BUY AN OLD GUITAR
WHEN A SPARK MAKES FIRE
YOUR CANDLE STARTS TO BURN
AND YOUR NAME WILL GO ALL AROUND THE WORLD
WHAT A FEELING
YOU HAVE A STAR ON THE SIDEWALK
AND YOU CAN HAVE EVERYTHING
TELL ME
WHAT’S THE FAME AND FORTUNE
WHEN THE DREAMS HAVE GONE AWAY
YOU’RE ALL ALONE AND DON’T KNOW HOW TO PRAY
A SMALL TOWN BAND AND SOME GOOD OLD FRIENDS
YOU HAD TO WORK HARD ON THE SHORE
WHEN YOU GOT THAT CONTRACT
SEEMED TO BE THE CHANCE
YOU WERE ALWAYS WAITING FOR
YOU CHANGED YOUR WHOLE LIFE FOR THE HOLLYWOOD BOULEVARD
AN’ CHAMPAIGNE IN A LIMOUSINE
BUT THE LIGHTS DON’T SHINE AS BRIGHT AS THEY DID
ON YOUR TV SCREEN
WHEN A SPARK MAKES FIRE…
WHAT A FEELING |
