Sitting by the gra** On the road to my renewal Staring at the tail lights Of the unutterably cool Heading for the capitol Heading for the stars Hey, you know I'll watch you However far away you are I can always find you In the Bright Star Catalogue I had an idea But I'd better not tell you It's something you could steal It's unutterably cool You're heading for the stratosphere Up among the stars Casually, thoughtlessly Cruel Dial-a-star He'll know who you are He'll know that you're his Like you is mine He always knows Star 69 Invisible to the naked eye The distant star is just a number
