Gm       A#
Hey now, take your pills, and
Dm       F
Hey now, make your breakfast
Gm       A#                 F
Hey now, comb your hair and off to work.
Gm         A#
Crash land, no illusions;
Dm           F
no collision, no intrusion
Gm   A#         F
My imagination runs away.

Chorus:
   D#                              Dm
I know, I know, I know what I am chasing
   D#                                  F
I know, I know, I know that this is changing me
D#      Gm        A#          F        D#
I am flying on a star into a meteor tonight,
       Gm         Dm
I am flying on a star, star, star
D#      Gm                  A#               F
I will make it through the day and then the day
            D#
becomes the night
       Gm                   Dm
I will make it through the night.

Hey now, take the U-Bahn
Five stops, change the station
Hey now, don't forget that change will save you
Hey now, count a thousand, million people
That's astounding
Chasing through the city with
their stars on bright

Chorus

I don't mind repeating
I am not complete
I have never been the gifted type
Hey, man, tell me something
Are you off to somewhere?
Do you want to go with me tonight?

Chorus
