Star

Lyrics and music by David Bowie

 

Tony went to fight in Belfast
Rudi stayed at home to starve
I could make it all worthwhile as a rock & roll star
Bevan tried to change the nation
Sonny wants to turn the world, well he can tell you that he tried

CHORUS (x2)
  I could make a transformation as a rock & roll star
  So inviting - so enticing to play the part
  I could play the wild mutation as a rock & roll star
   (second time: Get it all yeah!)
  I could do with the money
  I'm so wiped out with things as they are
  I'd send my photograph to my honey - and I'd c'mon like a regular superstar

I could fall asleep at night as a rock & roll star
I could fall in love all right as a rock & roll star
