[Verse 1]
Should you always be a mystery
I'd be lost in daydreams constantly
Out of reach, strung out like yesterday
Close your eyes and watch me drift away
Somewhere in between the speeding cars
I was born beneath a shooting star
In the morning sun they sold me
Electric hours of fun needlessly

[Chorus]
Promise me, promise me you'll never wait for me
There in the vacant light, don't say a prayer for me
Tell them I've got somewhere I have to go
That I wished on a star, I'll be back by the end of the show

[Verse 2]
Should you ever drift into the parade
I'll be the first in line to be saved
And after all no one really knows
This desert wind or which way it blows
Come out tonight and realize
Here upon my restless sunken eyes
We can sleep till night comes calling
And stop this sky of lights from falling in
[Chorus]
Promise me, promise me you'll never wait for me
There in the vacant light, don't say a prayer for me
Tell them I've got somewhere I have to go
That I wished on a star, I'll be back by the end of the show

[Outro]
The end of the show
The end of the show
The end of the show
