Superstar
© 2004 Jeff Oestreich

Idle moments in the present years
Chronic habits pasteurized by fears
Instant coffee from the microwave
But no time to save

Let me sleep I don’t have work today
Made a choice to find a better way
Time will come when I will not be stoned
I won’t be coming home

I’ve come this far
A superstar
Is everything that I wanna be
Red carpet ride
Knowing deep inside
That I can be somebody better than me

No more greens, red, yellows and blues
Dulling life by the colors I choose
Breaking down all the things I’ve learned
Easy to get burned

Dirty dishes in this combat zone
Is it normal to be left alone
Dreams of flying take me out of here
Into the atmosphere

Mourning a buzz
Swept it away in infinite coke cans
What was the cause
Blinded of right and wrong
