1989, the last of the dime
10 years in the 90s was just about enough time
To learn to break the limits like a credit card swipe

and get the treble charged right in this semi-charmed life
Anyone can be a star, was the moral of the fable
Today you've got a morsel, tomorrow you'll have a plateful

The sorrow and all the painful quarrels at dinner tables
Just forge you a stronger story that normal kids can relate to
They make you, or they break you, but don't worry bout the ladder(latter!!!!)

If rungs happen to shatter keep climbing it don't matter
My boys and me were poised to be like royalty
joined at the hip, the bouyancy of a friendships its loyalty

So we were sure to honor to it never mar or forsake it
Locked in a constellation with all of the parts as sacred as
crosses or stars of David, holding each other up

Cause we knew that gold'd be struck just as long as one of us made it

As stars go far

Space tends to pull them all apart
But whether it be miles or lightyears
When you get back I promise I'll be right here


I'll be right here though I find my peers
who signed my yearbook ain't quite so near

Just like I feared they moved like pioneers
flying far on the fuel of their bright ideas
So some are gone, and life goes on

though still I'll hope, it won't be long
till they come home, even just for some songs
and a summer weekend but the moments live strong

Cause its all love and that's a powerful substance
we share it round in abundance and chug it down by the bucket
Old pals up in town so we bound to get down

No matter how drunk I am I mean it when I say I'm proud of ya
Nows the time to celebrate where we are
No need to hold back tonight we're buying out the bar

And when the morning light comes, and their flights all depart
I'll just smile at this car that I marked on my arm


As stars go far
Space tends to pull them all apart
But whether it be miles or lightyears

When you get back I promise I'll be right here
