What's your sign? Do you know?
Let me guess? You're Scorpio?
What's your rising? Where's your moon?
Scorpios are pretty cool. See I'm a Sag.
So they say. I'm a butterfly, I like to play.
I'm always aiming into the sky.
I point my arrows, extremely high.

Chorus:
'Cos everyone, has a sign.
Whether supernatural or divine.
Believe or not, if you're so inclined.
'Cos in this great big universe
We're the stars on earth

See the man, over there. He's a Leo,
Check his hair. Virgo eyes.Aries smile
I like the Leo. Check his style.
When the night is good and clear
I hear the whisper in my ear
If you follow the Nothern Star
You will alays know, just where you are.

Chorus

We are stars doo doot, doo doot, doo yeah.
We are stars doo doo doot, doo doot,
Doo yeah. We are stars. Cos in this great big universe
We're stars on earth.

So what's your sign. Let me guess? I dunno.
I do confess. What's your rising? Where's your moon?
I dunno, but you're still cool!

Chorus

We are stars doo doot, doo doot, doo yeah.
We are stars doo, doo doot, doo doot, doo yeah.
We are stars. Cos in this great big universe
We are stars on earth, Yeah (x3)
You believe in me (x4)

I'm the keeper of your funny jokes
Sit beside me, make me laugh some more, yeah
We're all looking for a savior, I can see one,
Coming through the door.

Chorus:
To the light are you a follower
For the truth and for the destiny
This long night has lasted forever
How do we get to there? God only knows!

In the darkness, he sits shedding skins
How did it happen? He doesn't know
Was it karme, stuff and baggage
From another life? Why did it take her?
Why did she have to go? Oh, ooh!

Chorus

There I go thinking again (x3)
Thinking again.

Where are you going? Are you having fun?
What's the lesson? What we got to learn?
Can't be right, 'cos I'm a dancer.
I wrote the scripts and I know how it goes.

Chorus x2

Thinking, there I go again, 
Thinking, I go thinking,
Thinking, there I go again.

I'm afraid of the dark
'specially when I'm in a park
And there no one else around,
Oh I get the shivers.
I don't want to see a ghost,
It's the sign that I fear most
I'd rather have a piece of toast and
Watch the evening news.

Chorus:
Life, oh life, oh life doo,
Doot doot dooo. Life, oh life, oh life,
Oh life doo doot doo.

I'm a superstitious girl
I'm tha worst in the world
Never walk under the ladders, I keep
A rabbit's tail. I'll take you up on the dare,
Anytime, anywhere; Name the place,
I'll be there, bungee jumping,
I don't care!

Chorus

So after all said and done
I know I'm not the only one
Life indeed can be fun, If you really want to.
Sometimes living out your dreams,
Ain't as easy as it seems
You wanna fly around the world,
In a beautiful balloon.

Chorus (x2)

Doo doot doo doot. Repeat

I tried to run away,
Somehow I couldn't to stay
You reached to hold my hand,
You led me to the promised land.
There we were all alone, there were
No telephones. We only had each 
Other's eyes. And I feel now,
There were the best days
Of my life, hey yeah, yeah!

Where did you find their place?
Had we arrived in space?
Here we are Kings and Queens.
You know exactly what I mean.
Now we are all alone
There are no danger zones
We only have each other's smiles
And I feel now
They were the best days of my life
Hey yeah, yeah! Yes, I feel now,
They were the best days of my life.

The astonishment, written on my face,
As a beauty, it has me dazed.
Of the scenery, I was so impressed,
By the way the paradise was smartly dressed

Hey yeah, yeah!

I tried to disappear,
From all my aches and feras
But now I close my eyes and journey
To this paradise
So beautiful, simply wonderful
I sit down and take my time
'Cos I feel now,
they were the best days 
of i'm convinced now
they were the best days of my life

Best days x3
They were the best days, best days
Best days, they were the best days,
Bets days, best days, they

Tafari tries to get a job
Ten letters behind his name.
Born up in the cornfields
Tafari doesn't the game
The game has not respect for life
Even less for rules. Winners only need apply,
Sorry no rooms for fools.
Tafari, looks up to the stars and 
Wonders if there's life on Mars
Some say, he should shave his head,
But he's proud to be a dread.

Chorus:
'cos I'll be stronger.
For the truth, I know takes longer
I've the cunning of the tiger and the 
Wisdom of the trees.
I won't be sad, refuse the sorrow
I look forward to tomorrow
I'll release my anger,
'cos I'm proud to be a dread.

Selassie, tries to find a home,
To rest his weary head.
A place where he can take his girl
To share his spiritual bed.
When he's greeted at the door,
The sign has changed his tune.
Though his Queen is full of child, sorry.
There's no room.
Selassie looks up to the clouds,
He curses hard and shouts of out loud.
Remembering his father's words,
A whisper from the dead.

Chorus

'Cos in this life, you have to
take a chance, or why else live at all.
'Cos in this life, to climb a mountain,
sometimes expect to fall.
'cos in this life nothing comes easy,
if it does, it has a price.
'Cos in this life a martyr suffers,
look at Jesus Christ

Leo, faces many trials,
But hold hid head up high.
He won't allow the hatred to
Make his spirit die.
Leo looks up the moon
Sitting in its silver spoon.
Maybe I should change my job,
Be an astronaut instead.

Chorus x2:
'Cos, I'll be better, I'll be stronger.
For the truth, I know takes longer.
I've the cunning of the tiger and the
Wisdom of the trees. I won't be sad,
Refuse the sorrow.
I look forward tomorrow.
I'll release my anger,
'Cos I'm proud to be a dread.

I'm kissing you.

Pride can stand a thousand trials
The strong will never fall
But watching stars without you,
My soul cried. Heaving heart is full of pain,
Oh, oh, the aching.

'Cos I'm kissing you, oh.
I'm kissing, oh.

Touch me deep, pure and true¡­
Gift to me forever.
'Cos I'm kissing you, oh
I'm kissing you.

Where are you now? (x2)
'Cos I'm kissing you

Sitting in the fields surrounded by daisies,
Was her fate. She loves him,
She loves him not. He loves her
But he forgot. Now it's too late.
She's down to 3 petals,
She hears the whistle from the kettle,
But should she stay.
Chorus:
'Cos running never solves anything,
running changes nothing, you better stay.
But if you're running to another arms,
Running to another charms.
Then go away.

Indigo daisies indigo daisies.

Sitting on the train,
Surrounding by faces she doesn't know
She doesn't have a book to read
The journey takes infinity. She sucks a polo.
(chuckle)
She remembers the pavilion
He made her feel a million
Sweeter days. 
Chorus

Indigo daisies indigo daisies.

Chorus

Indigo daisies x3

Running never solves anything, yeah, x2
There was a time I was surrounded
By beautiful flowers x2

Look at the time, it's after 5.
Soon the day is over, Mr. magic,
Said we'd meet before the rise.
I recall when 60 minutes used to be an hour.
As usual I find myself reading skies
Never mind, I said to myself.
Many, have this feelings,
They remain on the shelf. How can I be sure?

Chorus:
Time, oh time. Yes I need more time.
Why do you keep on slipping away?
I hera wind chimes, jangle in my mind;
Oh I wish you'd stay.

Sitting around, I hear no sound.
Only the clock is ticking. Seconds turn
To minutes, purely on their own.
When asleep and all is dark,
I spend my dreaming wishing, I got a feelin'.
I'm not all alone.

Chorus

Got a feelin', yes I'm reelin'. I'm tryin'.
But I'm lying to myself.
When I'm sitting and I'm thinking.
How can I be sure? How can I be sure?

Chorus.

Down by the river, down by the sea.
Down by the water, will you come with me,
The fish are watching, I don't really care
Down by the river if you dare.

Down by the river,
Down by the stream, down by the ripples,
Promise I won't scream, oh.
The flowers are whispering.
What do they say?
Down by the river, where we play.

I can see the magic in your eyes.

Down by the river, 
Down by the shore. Down by the ocean,
Where we wanted more, oh.
The trees are listening, they turn away.
Down by the river where we lay.

Chorus: x2
I can see the magic in your eyes baby;
I can see the sunlight from your smile,
Maybe I could deceive myself,
But why should I deny That you belong to me,
I belong to you

Down by the river, down by the lake.
Down by the water, promise I won't fake.
Sun is shining, in its heat we bathe.
Down by the river we were saved.

Chorus

You belong to me, I belong to you.

Down by the river, yeah, (repeat)

From a child, he was golden.
Now he's a man,
Whose looks were stolen
From some glossy page,
Promising dreams of pure caviar
Started out, wouldn't listen.
His mother tired,
Father reasoned 'bout painted on smiles,
Reel you in slowly to steal your place.

Chorus:
Dah, de daah. Yes I trusted you.
Do de daah. Yes I trusted you.
Inside and out, oh I trusted you.
New World Age.

Try again, feels defeated. Once again,
Won't be depleted. You'll survive,
True survivor. A Darwin Star.
Turn the key, let me out gently. 
Into the light, I walk eagerly. I breathe in,
I surrender, I'm not afraid.

Chorus

I am, now ready to fly away.
Give away, gave away. Sometimes,
Life it gets in the way. Give away.
Given.

Nothing to blame,
Never has very much to say.
Laugh last, laugh longest.
I know sometimes life gets in the way.
You'll survive. Be strongest,
You'll survive, be strongest! 

You're riding in my car
I turn on the radio
I'm holding you closer
But you tell me no
You say you don't like it
But I know that you're a liar
'Cause when we kiss
Oh...

Fire

Late at night
You're taking me home
You say you wanna stay
But I want you to go
I say I don't love you
But you know I'm a liar
'Cause when we kiss
Oh...

Fire

You had a hold on me right from the start
A grip so tight I couldn't tear it apart
My nerves all jumping acting like a fool
Your kisses might burn
But my heart stays cool

Well Romeo and Juliet
Sampson and Delilah
Baby, you can bet
They were burning with desire
If I say split (You say split)
Then I know that I'd be lying (I know that you'd be lying)
'Cause when we kiss
Oh...

Fire

When we kiss
I'm on fire
Your tenderness
Gives me desire
I can't resist
Your tender lips
When we kiss
Oh...

Fire
