lyrics

Waking up with the sun
anchored off the coast of old LA
hanging halyards
a sky brighter than the sword of old Al the Great
drinking hard, seeing double
there's nowhere to release
I can hardly contain it
spewing like the sun in outer space
but I keep walking all day
On a sea of light
burning out of control
into another night
Bludgeoned birds of a feather
circle around the wreck of yesterday
but far at sea I see all burdens
though none to burden me
a simple twist, a fluid motion
you slip under the green
I can hardly explain it
doesn't mean I don't know what I've seen
but I keep walking and talking
On a sea of light
burning out of control
into another night
it's nothing that you don't know
cover me with light
I'm burning like I'm petrol
I'm a shooting star
You're only somebody
'til time goes by
darling, you'll go quiet
like me to the sea
oh, aye!
On a sea of light
burning out of control
I'm a shooting star
