Shooting Stars Lyrics - The Black Halos

Just one taste and you'll know what you gotta do 

Say goodbye to a new career you ain't going back to school 

You've got nothing to fall back on 

Just yer torn up parents jeans 

You've gotta keep it all together 

While you're splitting at the seams 

(at the seams) 

[Chorus:] 

The life of a shooting star 

The life of a shooting star 

Rising up from a skid row bar 

Getting drunk off the cover charge 

Rising fast and crashing hard like shooting stars 

You've got blurry vision so you're aiming for the world 

It's the only thing you know, you take a shot on rock'n'roll 

You've got nothing to fall back on 

Broken homes on a dead-end street 

You've gotta keep those people coming to hear you scream 

(to hear you scream) 

[Rep't chorus] 

Do you know what you are? 

Do you know what you are? 

You're a shooting star etc. 

[Rep't chorus to end]
