[Verse 1]
Baby, your deal is surreal
Just like lightning, streaking on
Heaven still is a state of mind
Where did we go wrong?
What happened to those old convictions?
Went up in smoke
Baby, while your back breaks slowly
By the skin of your teeth, you'll be under their thumb

[Pre-Chorus]
Moving from this state of friction
We all got stars in our eyes
But you know by now your one restriction
Is at the edge of the sky

[Chorus]
Keep shining like a new star
Shining like a new star
Baby, we better start
'Cause baby we're alive
(New star)

[Verse 2]
Shadows are still when the will
Has no strength left to carry on
You're flat on your back with your heart attack
Where the hell have you gone?
The pressure and pain, all the fire and ice
When you're playing your game with the rats and the mice
But while your back breaks slowly
By the skin of your teeth, you'll be under their thumb
[Chorus]
New star
Shining like a new star
Baby, we better start
'Cause baby we're alive
(New star)
New star
Shining like a new star
Baby, we better start
'Cause baby we're alive
(New star)

[Bridge]
Dreaming so clever in all kinds of weather
Where did you mention that you'd buried your treasure?
After the pleasure of giving is gone
You'll be as one under the same sun, sun

[Chorus]
(Shining like a new star)
(Shining like a new star)
(Shining like a new star)
(Shining like a new star)
New star (Shining like a new star)
Shining like a new star (Shining like a new star)
Baby, we better start (Shining like a new star)
'Cause baby we're alive (Shining like a new star)
(New star) (Shining like a new star)
New star (Shining like a new star)
Shining like a new star (Shining like a new star)
Baby, we better start (Shining like a new star)
'Cause baby we're alive (Shining like a new star)
(New star) (Shining like a new star)
'Cause baby we're alive (Shining like a new star)
[Outro]
'Cause baby we're alive
'Cause baby we're alive
'Cause baby we're alive
'Cause baby we're alive
'Cause baby we're alive
'Cause baby we're alive
'Cause baby we're alive
'Cause baby we're alive
'Cause baby we're alive
