Stars and Planets Songtext
von Liz Phair

Oh my, look at you, the wide-eyed ingénue
See me coming, whisper something
Who are you? Looking through the glass at me
Like you′re gonna make it happen
Let me tell you something true
You know it's just the same old story

Stars rise and the stars fall
But the ones that shine the brightest aren′t stars at all
They're the planets just like us and from big to small
We all shine, shine, shine, we all shine

Raise the red flag, say you're hot, young, available
Spend their money, chase their honey
Who are you? Boogaloo, we′ve seen ten of you
Just this morning, at least as pretty too
You know it just the same old story


Stars rise and stars fall
But the ones that shine the brightest aren′t stars at all
They're the planets just like us and from big to small
We all shine, shine, shine
We all shine, shine, shine, we all shine

Everybody wants to go far
Don′t be such a hog in the spotlight
Try to see how precious you are
And if you catch that wave, it can be death defying

Blinded by the flash, you're in a fashion entertainment
Affiliated, listener-rated
Pamplona race to see who makes it to the Grammy′s
Well, you better start running, the bulls are coming
You know it's just the same old story

Stars rise and stars fall
But the ones that shine the brightest aren′t stars at all
They're the planets just like us and from big to small
We all shine, shine, shine

Stars rise and stars fall
But the ones that shine the brightest aren't stars at all
They′re the planets, they are like us and from big to small
We all shine, shine, shine


We all shine, shine, shine
We all shine, shine, shine
We all shine, shine, shine, shine
We all shine, shine, shine
We all shine, shine, shine
We all shine, shine, shine, shine

We all shine, shine, shine
We all shine, shine, shine
We all shine, shine, shine, shine
We all shine, shine, shine
We all shine, shine, shine
