What a night, what a night here I go
Let's light 'em up, they're falling like dominos
This diamond dust is shining up beautiful
So start 'er up, here I go, here I go
I wanna live like Jesus Christ, superstar
I wanna die between the teeth of my car
You and I were born to die while we're young
In our life, chewed up like bubblegum
We're never getting older

I, I wanna be a star
I, big in America
Take your soul, mama knows
With a shake in the ground
I, I wanna be a star
And that's the way it goes

When I was younger, 17, turning tricks
And all the lies were dripping down from my lips
In better days, when I would shoot from the hip
We used to pray for the apocalypse
We're never getting older

I, I wanna be a star
I, big in America
Take your soul, mama knows
With a shake in the ground
I, I wanna be a star
And that's the way it goes

I'm gonna be a star
Big in America
I'm gonna give it all
I'm gonna-

I, I wanna be a star
I, big in America
Take your soul, mama knows
With a shake in the ground
I, I wanna be a star
And that's the way it goes
