[00:00.01]Stars-The Very Thing (by XI)
[00:05.27]
[00:12.68]The bar closes early on the Sabbath day
[00:16.39]So me and my kid, we hit the park to play
[00:21.30]Then it starts to rain, so we walk home again
[00:25.62]He asks why he was born, I don't know what to say
[00:30.23]I don't feel guilty and I don't feel sad
[00:34.60]This motherfucking life is the best he's had
[00:38.87]I said "I've been there, sonny, and it ain't that bad
[00:43.42]I took my hits from the shits back when I was a lad"
[00:47.97]
[00:48.41]So long ago, and even though I tried
[00:51.85]I couldn't make him see
[00:54.52]The light that he had cast in front of me
[00:58.72]And even though I cried, I couldn't make him be
[01:03.65]The very thing I needed
[01:07.15]
[01:10.01]His mother would make a scene when I come home late
[01:13.88]She looks like she's dying and she's twenty-eight
[01:18.09]I never loved that whore, I never will no more
[01:22.94]Except for a month back in '84
[01:27.90]The jammin' was playing and my heart stood still
[01:32.45]Gazing at her shadow on the windowsill
[01:36.30]
[01:36.95]So long ago, and even though I tried
[01:40.52]I couldn't make her see
[01:43.11]I wasn't quite the man she thought I'd be
[01:47.26]And even though I cried, I couldn't make her be
[01:52.09]The very thing I needed
[01:55.67]
[01:57.05]And even though I tried
[01:58.96]I couldn't make her see
[02:01.51]I wasn't quite the man she thought I'd be
[02:05.34]And even though I cried, I couldn't make her be
[02:10.28]The very thing I needed
[02:14.59]
[02:19.32]Could she be the very thing I needed?
[02:26.15]Could she be the very thing?
[02:29.30]
[02:32.98]Push yourself away from your one best friend
[02:41.99]Who's gonna love you when you reach the end?
[02:50.85]Who will?
[02:55.30]Who will?
[03:00.00]Who will?
