Lyrics

Star Star

[Refrain]

Star, star, teach me how to shine

Shine, teach me so I know what's goin' on in your mind

'Cause I don't understand these people

Sayin' the hill's too steep, well

They talk and talk forever, but they just never climb, oh

[Verse 1]

Fallin' down into situations, bringin' out the best in you

Flat on your back, yeah

And star, you're every word I'm heeding

Can you help me to see?

I'm lost in the marsh, yeah

[Refrain]

Star, star, teach me how to shine

Shine, teach me so I know what's goin' on in your mind

'Cause I don't understand these people

Sayin' the world's asleep, well

They toss and turn forever, but no rest will they find

Star, teach me how to shine (Shine)

Oh

[Break]

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Ohh, oh

[Outro]

Star, star, teach me how to shine

Shine, teach me so I know what's goin' on in your mind

Star, star, teach me how to shine

Shine, teach me so I know what's goin' on in your mind

Star, star, teach me how to shine

Shine, teach me so I know what's goin' on in your mind

Star, star, teach me how to shine

Shine, teach me so I know what's—

[Instrumental Outro]
