To Catch a Fallen Star

Ya know you've been awful moody

you've been actin' awful rude lately

you've been causin' trouble left and right

you're always lookin' for a fight

what happened to the real you

it's locked away inside of you

come out, come out,wherever you are

it's time to catch a fallen star



Well, let's blame it on the chemicals

blame it on the drugs and the booze

you've got these chemical reactions

all goin' on inside of you

you better lay off that stuff

you better clean up your act

you know you've had quite enough

you know that for a fact



Well, I believe in moderation

it's better than deterioration

but if you have some here and have more there

you will create your own nightmare

that you cannot awaken from



Wake up, before it's too late

Cool down now, you've gotta think straight

Well, I'll help you through the hard times

then we can have some real good times

You'll feel a great sensation

better than hallucination

We'll go on a nice vacation

and we'll try to sort things out

we'll get lots of relaxation

no need to scream and shout

then make amends with your old friends

tell 'em what you've been through

bet they'll help you out too

got no time to lose

now you've paid your dues

it's up to you to choose

if you win or lose
