Star We go waiting for the stars To come showering down From Moscow to Mars Universe falling down You got to look real hard There's a fiery star Hidden out there somewhere Not the satellite of love But a laser Shooting out it's shiny tongue there God is love, God is war TV-preacher tell me more Load redeem me, am I pure? As pure as pure as heaven Sent you money sent you flowers Could worship you for hours In whose hands are we anyway? Go waiting for the stars To come showering down From Moscow to Mars Universe falling down You got to look real hard Is it in your heart? Yeah it's in there somewhere The power wrapped in your palm Show it to me Hit them with your wrath and thunder What's your pleasure? Tell it to me How did you know? Show your beauty In you somewhere, somewhere in me Pure as pure as heaven Sent you money sent you flowers Could worship you for hours In whose hands are we anyway? Yeeha Rolling along through a rose colored glow The city looks pretty in pink Armageddon is here! Did you ever have a lover Leave you for another To take your love and kisses for granted? Never to discover War is not the answer Leave you only disenchanted God is love, God is war TV-preacher tell me more Father help me am I pure? As pure as pure as heaven Sent you money sent you flowers Could worship you for hours In whose hands are we anyway? Go waiting for the stars To come showering down From Moscow to Mars Universe falling down Go waiting for the stars To come showering down From Moscow to Mars Universe falling down Go waiting for the stars To come showering down From Moscow to Mars Universe falling down
