[Verse 1]
Hey now, take your pills and
Hey now, make your breakfast
Hey now, comb your hair and off to work
Crash land, no illusions;
No collision, no intrusion
My imagination run away
[Pre-Chorus]
I know, I know, I know what I am chasing
I know, I know, I know that this is changing me
[Chorus]
I am flying on a star into a meteor tonight
I am flying on a star star star
I will make it through the day and then the day becomes the night
I will make it through the night
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
I know, I know, I know what I am chasing
I know, I know, I know that this is changing me
[Chorus]
I am flying on a star into a meteor tonight
I am flying on a star star star
I will make it through the day and then the day becomes the night
I will make it through the night
[Verse 3]
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?
[Pre-Chorus]
I know I know I know that this is changing;
We walk the streets, to feel the ground I'm chasing: ÜBerlin
[Chorus]
I am flying on a star into a meteor tonight
I am flying on a star, star star
I will make it through the day and then the day and then the day becomes the night
I will make it through the night
Hey now, take your pills and
Hey now, make your breakfast
Hey now, comb your hair and off to work
Crash land, no illusions;
No collision, no intrusion
My imagination run away
[Pre-Chorus]
I know, I know, I know what I am chasing
I know, I know, I know that this is changing me
[Chorus]
I am flying on a star into a meteor tonight
I am flying on a star star star
I will make it through the day and then the day becomes the night
I will make it through the night
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
I know, I know, I know what I am chasing
I know, I know, I know that this is changing me
[Chorus]
I am flying on a star into a meteor tonight
I am flying on a star star star
I will make it through the day and then the day becomes the night
I will make it through the night
[Verse 3]
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?
[Pre-Chorus]
I know I know I know that this is changing;
We walk the streets, to feel the ground I'm chasing: ÜBerlin
[Chorus]
I am flying on a star into a meteor tonight
I am flying on a star, star star
I will make it through the day and then the day and then the day becomes the night
I will make it through the night
