Sitting behind the wheel of that racing machine Boy, you sure do look mean Boy, you sure do look neat But I know just where you're going when that red light turns green A hundred miles an hour down a dead end street A brilliant flash of light then darkness A brilliant flash of light and then you're gone Falling star, I know you I know what you're about Falling star, shine brightly End the night You light up all our faces with your bright silver tongue All those songs that you've sung They still ring in my ear But you're just like all those others, you live fast and die young You'll sparkle for a moment then you'll disappear A brilliant flash of light then darkness A brilliant flash of light and then you're gone Falling star, I know you I know what you're about Falling star, shine brightly End the night Why do I always end up with a tear in my eye Always pick the same guy Always end up alone My heart is as empty as that big black hole in the sky That empty place in heaven where my star once shone A brilliant flash of light then darkness A brilliant flash of light and then you're gone Falling star, I know you I know what you're about Falling star, shine brightly End the night Falling star, I know you I know what you're about Falling star, shine brightly End the night
