Lyrics

Rocker with vocal

[Verse 1]

Will I really raise a solar system?

Gotta get it done just right for you

What's a couple of stars

When you're talking 'bout a ground-zero holiday?

I was standing at the bus stop waiting

Gonna be a paying passenger

When I saw a flash of light go by

Was a meteor man in a blazing hurry

[Chorus]

Mother's real, but don't you feel

This time you've gone too far

All in all, the sky will fall

And you will be your life

[Instrumental Verse]

[Instrumental Chorus]
