    Lyrics

    I am one as you are three

    Try to find messiah in your trinity

    Your city to burn

    Your city to burn

    Try to look for something

    In your city to burn, you'll burn

    Am I as I seem?

    I'm down

    Down, so down

    Time is right for a guiding light

    Try to turn to reasons in your bitter life

    Your city to burn

    Your city to burn

    Try to look for something

    In your city to burn, you'll burn

    See you, don't you just want to

    See you, I am one

    See you, don't you just want to

    See you

    See you, don't you just want to

    See you, I am one

    See you, don't you just want to

    See you, I am one

    Lyrics

    I really love you, and I mean you,
    The star above you, crystal blue
    Well, oh baby, my hair’s on end about you
    I wouldn’t see you, and I love to,
    I fly above you, yes I do,
    Well, oh baby my hair’s on end about you
    Floating, bumping, noses dodge a tooth
    The fins a luminous
    Fangs all ’round the clown is dark
    Below the boulders hiding
    All the sunlight’s good for us
    Cause we’re the fishes, and all we do
    The move about is all we do
    Well oh baby my hair’s on end about you
    I really love you, and I mean you,
    The star above you, crystal blue
    Well, oh baby, my hair’s on end about you
    Well, oh baby, my hair’s on end about you
    (Laughter, applause)

    Lyrics

    Oh yeah, another day

    Oh yeah, gotta play

    What it is, it never was

    I don’t care to give enough

    My boredom has outshined the sun

    It’s so down low

    I just want to have some little fun

    Oh yeah, another day

    Oh yeah, what a waste

    What it is, it never was

    I don’t care, or give a fuck

    My boredom has outshined the sun

    It’s so down low

    I just want to have some little fun

    Bring me down

    Bring me down

And she said, no my name is Darla but hey Starla, Darla whatever it doesn't matter, so there you go. Never trust a girl who ends up with well I can't say."

    Lyrics

    I’m in here

    Please take me home

    Starla dear, I’m all alone

    When you can’t decide what’s on your mind, it’s clear

    I’m near

    Starla dear

    To disappear takes some more time

    Starla dear, you’re on my mind

    Soon, soon I’ll be leaving

    Soon, soon I’ll be leaving

    I hear all you’re saying

    I hear all you’re failing

    I’m in here

    Please take me home

    Starla dear, I’m all alone

    When you can’t decide what’s on your mind, it’s clear

    I’m here

    Starla dear

    Serve yourself

    No one else can do for you like you

    No one else fails like me

    In my eyes I burn alive

    Fly like a bird

    No more words just you and I

    High in the sky
