Bad Star Songtext
von Broderick Smith

In the Norfolk pines
There′s a murder of crows
They sit there biding their time
Silent judges in long black robes
They watch me trudge on down the line

I'm a troubled man in room 13
Sitting on the edge of the bed
It shows the imprint of every human being
That′s laid their weary head

There's a bad star
Just above my shoulders
There's a slow leak
Where my heart should be
A bad star just above my shoulders
Following me


I look out the window
And I watch the sun
Struggle up the sullen sky
The day is hurt
And slowly bleeding
And I′m too tired to cry

In street cafes
Where the sound of doves
Fills me with chill and dread
Long, long shadows
Creeping over love
Demons in my boiling head

There′s a bad star
Just above my shoulders
There's a slow leak
Where my heart should be
There′s a bad star
Just above my shoulders
Following me

I'm so far away from anything
So far away from the real world
So far away from anything
So far away


Too many rooms
In this haunted house
Too many broken stairs
Too many old men
Warn me of tomorrow
Tell someone who cares

There′s a bad star
Just above my shoulders
There's a slow leak
Where my heart should be
There′s a bad star
Just above my shoulders
Following me
Following me
