Lyrics
Star Destroyer
she arrived from the gaseous state
and everything about her got cool
she saw the sign
and the planets aligned
as she shined bright like a jewel
she's a star
she's a star destroyer
she's a star
she's a star, destroy her
she's gonna run around
and we're gonna run her down
A break in the country but not to be outdone
she rode on a mustang bare-back (with her hair back)
And they got her jumpin' in front of the sun
A little glow lost to the flash pack
she's a star, she's a star
she's a star, she's a star destroyer
she's a star, she's a star
she's a star, she's a star, destroy her
she's gonna hold her ground
and we're gonna troll around
private security put up perimeter at a half-mile
but couldn't get the cops to enforce it
they're flashing for cash as they dive through her trash
found a receipt for a peekaboo corset
she's a star, she's a star
she's a star, she's a star destroyer
she's a star, she's a star
she's a star, she's a star, destroy her
she's gonna play this town
and we're gonna break her down
she's a star...she's a star...
she's a star...she's a star...
she's gonna hold her ground
and we're gonna troll around
she took her life on the road for the week
said she'd return and she'd plan it
the wait of the masses exhausted and leaked
so she disappeared when they ran it
she's a star, she's a star
she's a star, she's a star destroyer
she's a star, she's a star
she's a star, she's a star, destroy her
now, she won't hear a sound
and we're gonna take her down
she's a star...she's a star...
she's a star...she's a star...
she's gonna run around
and we're gonna run her down
snuck out the back of her OB off fairfax
lost it due to stress from the secret
with a marriage on the rocks,
had her agent change the locks
on a cover story with creased signs of weakness
for top dollar snaps of the comeback kid,
they chased down her jet on arrival,
when her car left the ground,
the only sound they had found,
was from the head, on the glass, of her driver.
she arrived from the gaseous state
and everything about her got cool
now, she'll stay inside,
til the planets collide,
and she finally breaks like a rule.
