lyrics

howling on down the road
Silver Surfing that super highway
gonna make it happen
gonna pull it together my way

solar powered and green grass sustained
been eating hope and sleeping change

the light of a million suns in his eyes
the city of new days on the horizon
the Gold Man shook his hand, and flashed him a smile
took all his things and said, "Son, get in line."

He said
Star Child, shooting back to Earth
don't burn out in the atmosphere
with your bones thin as a bird
cause it's a planet of apes down here

Star Child, the sun is going red
the lights are fading it's clear
it's time to leave your head
cause it's a planet of apes down here

the futures that I'd dreamed
have gone all raygun-gothic
shot full of plot holes
and charlatan mac guffins

one last compost party, BYOB
you can toss in all your half-finished theses
your Bono pretense, your revolution dreams, you can burn them up
and sigh at new fools born from the stardust

hung down with art school drop-outs pushing brands
and the gold-star kids, shuffling paper with idle hands

they said
Star Child, shooting back to Earth
don't burn out in the atmosphere
with your bones thin as a bird
cause it's a planet of apes down here

Star Child, the sun is going red
the lights are fading it's clear
it's time to leave your head
cause it's a planet of apes down here

from the crater full of flames
emerged the Star Man
he filed out the starlight
from the nails of his hands

shrunk himself down to size
just to fit into this town
now the waters are rising
the green grass is going brown

and Gold Man's still gold and Black Friday's gone red
as visions of tomorrow worlds die in his head

bought a round for John Henry the other day
they talked railroads, and wandered down super highways

he said
Star Child, shooting back to Earth
don't burn out in the atmosphere
with your bones thin as a bird
cause it's a planet of apes down here

Star Child, the sun is going red
the lights are fading it's clear
it's time to leave your head
cause it's a planet of apes down here
