superstars
Roxy Saint Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Watch the clock and I had to go
Still listening to the radio and
Sling my guitar behind my back
I don't have time to relax
I remember when we used to play
Tell stories and stay up late
Yeah well they made their mark
Stand in line and play your part

Where are the superstars now?
No one to show us how
You know were still waiting
Where are the superstars now?
No one to take a bow
You know we're still dreaming yeah

Another band another show
Time passes slow you know
And when you're talking to me
My heart breaks for you, you see
Well yeah my opinions mean
I only like the most extreme
Nice to meet you I'm the tortured girl
I'm gonna paint my face around the world

Where are the superstars now?
No one to show us how
You know were still waiting
Where are the superstars now?




On one to take a bow
You know we're still dreaming
