I can't stay I say, you're a lie she says.
It's in your eyes and on your skin I read your mind she says.
Prove me wrong she says.
I've been around she says.
And all the way with my eyes closed she says.
Stay right there she says.
Look at me she says.
I know a way to make you feel a star she says.
Oh my god I say.
Oh my god I say.
But if it's a dream why can't I scream to wake me up I say.
I've been around for 4 decades,
I've seen the cities and the planes,
I've watched the ball that comes and goes.
