star people. counting your money till your soul turns green. star people. counting the cost of your desire to be seen. I do not count myself among you. I may be living in a dream. it's just there seem so many of you. can't help but hope. there's a difference between...you and me. you're a star. (I'm talking to you). you're a star. maybe your mama gave you up boy. (it's the same old same old). maybe your daddy didn't love you enough girl. star people. never forget your secret's safe with me. just look at all the wonderful people. trying to forget they had to pay for what you see. it's a dream. with a nightmare stuck in the middle. but where would you be. without all of that attention. you'd die. I'd die. we'd die wouldn't we. (well wouldn't we). big big star!. should go far!. chorus. talk about your mother. talk about your father. talk about the people. who have made you what you are. talk about your teacher. the bully boy who beat you. talk about the people who have paid. for that new sports car. did you get off on a bad foot baby. do you have a little tale to tell. is that why you're star?. is that what makes a star?. nothing comes from nothing baby. that fame and fortune's heaven sent. and who gives a fuck about your problems darling. when you can pay the rent. how much is enough?.
