Wish upon a star  
Take a step enter the land  
walk through the air  
Take my hand  
Wishmaster’s will  
Join him the quest of dream  
A make-believe  
Is all we need  
Wish upon a star  
No matter who you are  
The second star to the right  
Harbinger’s gate  
Beyond the boundaries  
Blossom ballet  
In the great wide somewhere  
Wish upon a star  
Believe in will  
The realm of the king of fantasy  
The master of the tale-like lore  
the way to kingdom I adore  
Where the warrior’s heat is pure  
Where the stories will come true

</div>

When you wish upon a star  
Makes no difference who you are  
Anything your heart desires  
Will come to you

If your heart is in your dream  
No request is too extreme  
When you wish upon a star  
As dreamers do

Fate is kind  
She brings to those who love  
The sweet fulfillment of  
Their secret longing

Like a bolt out of the blue  
Fate steps in and sees you through  
When you wish upon a star  
Your dreams come true

Paradise is waiting for the chosen few  
Let’s hope maybe this time he picks me and you  
Star voyage to a new world  
Light-year miles away  
Cross your fingers, here he is,  
Take us now this day

Starbreaker  
Glides in from the sky  
Starbreaker  
Takes you up so high

Starbreaker, take my hand  
Starbreaker, understand  
Starbreaker, you’re the one  
Starbreaker, lead us on, and on

I go to learn from the Y.O.D.A.!  
I go to learn from the Y.O.D.A.!  
He knows everything about wrong and right.  
You can become a Jedi knight.  
I go to learn from the Y.O.D.A.!  
I go to learn from the Y.O.D.A.!  
To avoid the dark side is the path he’ll endorse,  
He’ll teach you to use the force.

“Young man, listening to me are you?”  
He said, “young man, I’m nine hundred and two.”  
He said, “young man, you need no more training,  
But you got to do this one thing:  
Vader… You must face him you see,  
And only then, a Jedi will you be.”  
Then his last words were a real shocker.  
“There is another Skywalker.”

There’s a suitcase poking me in the ribs  
There’s an elbow in my ear  
There’s a smelly old bum standing next to me  
Hasn’t showered in a year  
I think I’m missing a contact lens  
I think my wallet’s gone  
And I think this bus is stopping again  
To let a couple more freaks get on, look out

Another one rides the bus  
Another one rides the bus  
Another comes on and another comes on  
Another one rides the bus  
Hey, who’s gonna sit by you?  
Another one rides the bus

They say that I won’t last too long on Broadway  
I’ll catch a Greyhound bus for home, they all say  
But they’re dead wrong, I know they are  
'Cause I can play this here guitar  
And I won’t quit till I’m a star on Broadway  
I won’t quit till I’m a star on Broadway

It’s not hard to find confrontation.  
When you’ve got a bad reputation.  
I wanna’ piece, a piece of the action.  
'Cause I need my satisfaction.

When twelve o’clock comes around then.  
I’ll just be chasing a car down.  
Can’t you see my hair touch the celing?  
I wanna’ roll, time to go rolling.

I’ll play air guitar when the place shook over.  
Take me away to the place that’s in your eyes.  
It’s not far away, just one step from paradise.  
I played air guitar and the place shook over.  
Take me away to the place that’s in your eyes.  
It’s not far away, just one step from paradise.  
I played air guitar and the place shook over.

I don’t give a damn ‘bout my reputation  
I’ve never been afraid of any deviation  
An’ I don’t really care if you think I’m strange  
I ain’t gonna change

An’ I’m never gonna care 'bout my bad reputation  
Oh no, not me, oh no, not me  
(Pedal, boys!)

An’ I don’t give a damn ‘bout my reputation  
The world’s in trouble, there’s no communication  
An’ everyone can say what they wanna to say  
It never gets better, anyway

So why should I care about a bad reputation anyway?  
Oh no, not me, oh no, not me

The push and the throb  
The threat of the mob  
The crack’s not a secret this time  
The mouths and the doors  
But I can’t shut anymore  
Keep running, cause you’re falling behind

But-life speeds up,  
Don’t you know, don’t you know?  
Life speeds up,  
Then it goes away

The world spins alone  
And the weight of it groans  
I’m dizzy just turning the page  
The air holds us down  
And we’re stuck on the ground  
And we’re trying to slip off our age

But-life speeds up,  
Don’t you know, don’t you know?  
Life speeds up,  
Then it goes away

</div>

No way forward or back  
In stalemate, we stagnate  
Life cycle is an automation  
Instinctively, we race to get ahead?

And now our virgin minds are raped  
Another insignificance to join the rat-race

Self-indulgence with our grasp  
We’re taught but torn (from) the sanctity of life  
So vulnerable, the world keeps turning –  
We spin out of control

Guided, or could this mean misguided?  
No time for questions, preoccupied with pressing on  
The world keeps turning –  
We overdose on overdrive

Anything you want, anything you want, anything

Take the longest day  
Throw it all away  
I can’t stand it  
But I can’t do anything

Everyday’s the same  
Nothing ever change  
I can’t stand it  
But I can’t do anything  
Can’t do anything

Here in another home  
Where everything moves so slow

So tired

She does everything

Ooh, baby, hold tight

Well I told you once and I told you twice  
That someone will have to pay the price  
But here’s a chance to change your mind  
'Cause I’ll be gone a long, long time

Well this could be the last time  
This could be the last time  
Maybe the last time  
I don’t know. Oh no. Oh no

Last time baby  
Well I don’t know

In the crowd a voice was heard  
Should you get them before they get you?  
Should we strike the first blow?  
He said, No no no you don’t understand

The enemy is in your heart  
Self respect robbed by self content  
Look across the country  
All the people with their dreams dead in their hearts

Stand up on your feet  
'Cause your life is short as hell  
You could be dead tomorrow

Today may be your last chance to believe in yourself  
Your last chance to yell  
Your last chance to be good to yourself  
Your last chance to drink from life’s well  
Drink from the well

You are now addicted to an overuse of graphics  
And making Greedo shoot first? Han shot first!  
So when you tried to have the Force make sense  
You introduced the midichlorians  
And what’s the deal with having me be dubbed over
