Song lyrics

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 runs away


I know, I know, I know what I am chasing

I know, I know, I know that this is changing me


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


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


I know, I know, I know what I am chasing

I know, I know, I know that this is changing me


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


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?


I know, I know, I know that this is changing

We walk the streets to feel the ground I'm chasing: ÜBerlin


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
