Lyrics

VERSE 1
Look up in the sky, want to be a star?
Search the heavens for your place, find out who you are
Follow that heavenly body, in your beat up car
When you finally stop, that's only the start

CHORUS
If you want it. If you need it. Better go and try to find it
If you want it. If you need it. Better go and try to make it
If you want it. If you need it. Better go and try to get it
You've got to try
You've got to try

VERSE 2
You may never be as famous as Elvis on black velvet
You may never get to Hong Kong in a private jet
Always a price to pay, always an unpaid debt
Try to reach for more, more than you can get

CHORUS

VERSE 3
You may never be the one, to get on TV
Fifteen minutes on the air, ain't reality
You can get on the Internet, for all to see
Lay bare all your eccentricity

CHORUS

VERSE 4
Look up in the sky, want to be a star?
Search the heavens for your place, find out who you are
Follow that heavenly body, in your beat up car
When you finally stop, that's only the start

CHORUS
If you want it. If you need it. Better go and try to find it
If you want it. If you need it. Better go and try to make it
If you want it. If you need it. Better go and try to get it
If you want it. If you need it. Better go and try to find it
If you want it. If you need it. Better go and try to make it
If you want it. If you need it. Better go and try to get it
(ritard)
You've got to try
You've got to try
