Just one taste and you'll know what you gotta do Say goodbye to a new career you ain't going back to school You've got nothing to fall back on Just yer torn up parents jeans You've gotta keep it all together While you're splitting at the seams (At the seams) (Chorus:) The life of a shooting star The life of a shooting star Rising up from a skid row bar Getting drunk off the cover charge Rising fast and crashing hard like shooting stars You've got blurry vision so you're aiming for the world It's the only thing you know, you take a shot on rock'n'roll You've got nothing to fall back on Broken homes on a dead-end street You've gotta keep those people coming to hear you scream (To hear you scream) (Rep't chorus) Do you know what you are? Do you know what you are? You're a shooting star etc. (Rep't chorus to end)
