But we all shine on,

Like the moon and the stars and the sun.

We all shine on,

On and on and on…

Now I keep on thinkin’ my luck is gonna change someday  
Bad karma, it’s uphill all the way_

“Gonna take a trip  
On an astral plane  
I got hip to a chick  
Her name is Shirley MacLaine …

She said we all made the scene on planet earth before …

Now if you dig somebody you think is great  
You might have dug them back in 1448.”

-Harry “The Hipster” Gibson.
