Golden Smog - Shooting Star lyrics

Johnny was a schoolboy when he heard his first Beatles song "Love me do" I think it was and from there it wouldn't take long Got himself a guitar, he used to play it every night Now he's in a rock and roll outfit everything is alright Don't you know Johnny told his momma "hey momma, I'm going away Gonna hit the big time, gonna be a big star someday" Momma came to the door with a teardrop in her eye Johnny said "don't cry momma smile and wave goodbye" Don't you know Don't you know that you are a shooting star Don't you know Don't you know that you are a shooting star And all the world will love you just as long As long as you are Johnny made a record, it went straight up to number one Suddenly everyone loved to hear him play his song Watching the world go by surprising it goes so fast Johnny looked around him and said "hey I made the big time at last" Don't you know Don't you know that you are a shooting star Don't you know Don't you know that you are a shooting star And all the world will love you just as long As long as you are Don't you know that you are a shooting star And all the world will love you just as long As long as you are Johnny died one night, died in his bed Bottle of whiskey, sleeping tablets by his head Johnny's life pa**ed him by like a warm summer day If you listen to the wind sometimes you can still hear him play Don't you know Don't you know that you are a shooting star Don't you know, don't you Don't you know that you are a shooting star Don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you know Don't you know that you are a shooting star Don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you know Don't you know you are a shooting, a shooting star Don't you know you are a shooting star
