Iced Earth - Shooting Star

Shooting Star

Iced Earth

Johnny was a schoolboy

When he heard his first Beatles song

Love me do, I think it was

And them it didn't take him long

Got himself a guitar

Used to play every night

Now he's in a rock n'roll outfit

And everything is alright

Don't you know?

Johnny told his mama

"Hey mama, I'm going away

I'm gonna hit the big town

Gonna be a big star someday"

Mama came to the door

With a tear drop in her eye

Johnny said, "Don't cry, mama

Smile, I will be back"

Don't you know?

Don't you know that you are a shooting star?

Don't you know?

Don't you know that you are a shooting star?

And all the world will love you just as long

As long as you are

Johnny made a record

Went straight up to number one

Suddenly everyone loved

To hear him sing a song

Watchin' the world go by

Surprisin' it goes so fast

Johnny looked around him and says,

"Well, I made the big-time at last"

Don't you know?

Don't you know that you are a shooting star?

Don't you know?

Ahh yeah...

Don't you know that you are a shooting star?

And all the world will love you just as long

As long as you are

Yeah a shooting star

Don't you know that you are a shooting star?

Don't you know?

Don't you know?

Don't you know that you are a shooting star?

And all the world will love you just as long

As long as you are

Johnny died one night, died in huis bed

Botlle of whisky, sleeping tablets by his head

Johnny's life passed him by like a warm summer day

If you listen to the wind you can still hear him play, oohhh!

Don't you know that you are a shooting star?

Don't you know?

Ahh yeah...

Don't you know that you are a shooting star?

Don't you, don't you, don't you, don'tyou,

Don't you know ohh?

Don't you know that you are a shooting star?(Ohhh yeah...)

Don't you know that you are a shooting star?

(Yeeeeaaahhh... Yeah a shooting star...)
