10,000 Maniacs
"Big Star"


I saw a big star running from me,
a world from a record on my bed.
Turn the tables on me,
what would happen if I fell
to the tune of a dreamer,
to the tune of my heart?

A big star running from me,
I saw a world out sunning on my head.
Turn the tables on me now
I would fall from heaven
and ring your bell.

Baby, catch me
n the middle of a lie
The boys are out tonight,
yeah the boys are out tonight.
The big shots singin' from me,
I saw a world out sunning on my head.
Pity my heart signals:
center of a storm inside my head.
Center of my heart,
center of my out of time simple mind.

From the moon out my window
a wink and a blink and a nod.
SongtexteHad a wish on a star but now it's falling.

The boys are out tonight,
big skies above me signal
in my horoscope it said:
never heed a caution,
never fought a lover,
never cross a street alone
in the middle of a signal red,
middle of a drinker's heart,
middle of a big parade,
a signal in my horoscope.
