Gonna build a rocket Anytime you want it Paint it pretty colours Gonna light it up and take us to the moon That's what I'm gonna do That's what I'm gonna Save up all the papers Gonna need litter Maybe take a minute To get in my head directions all the way You want to get away I'm taking you Through the eyes of the black hole And the open doors Through the cracks in the pavement In conversation From the top of the empire To a state unknown If I say that I'm leaving Just got to hang on 'Cause we're just stars Tryin'a get back to where we're from And one by one We're gonna leave this planet So don't look back 'Cause you know that it's all just time When you've got nothing on your mind You made it Somewhere in the future Talk about forever Take yourself a picture Waiting in the rain for a postcard from the sun The one that never comes The one that never shows The one that never, is building something From the heart of the wreckage In another zone Are we losing our balance? I think we've got vertigo From the top of the empire To a state unknown If I tell you I'm leaving Just got to hang on 'Cause we're just stars Tryin'a get back to where we're from And one by one We're gonna leave this planet So don't look back 'Cause you know that it's all just time When you've got nothing on your mind You made it From the top of the empire I think we've got vertigo 'Cause we're just stars Tryin'a get back to where we're from And one by one We're gonna leave this planet So don't look back 'Cause you know that it's all just time When you've got nothing on your mind You made it 'Cause we're just stars Tryin'a get back to where we're from And one by one We're gonna leave this planet So don't look back 'Cause you know that it's all just time When you've got nothing on your mind You made it
