DAVID BOWIE LYRICS - Shining Star (Makin' My Love)

"Shining Star (Makin' My Love)"



Eddie boy lit like paraffin

spending two weeks

in a crack house

Burns on his brain

like Chernobyl



Dean was seen

with a two bag purchase

He was lying dead on his mother's bed

Someone for pray for-

till I met you



Life is like a broken arrow-

memory a swingin' door

I could be your great misfortune-

I can make you happy

every day of your life

Making my love

like a shining star

takin' my love just a touch too far



Tessie turns tricks with a soul like ice

cause love left holes

And four swell kids breaking her heart

I've got windows, I've seen much vice,

I've touched down with vermin,

Cowardice, lice,

And I say



Nobody cares what you do-

please be yourself to death



I could be your great misfortune

But you'll never find a, bet you'll never find a better man.



Making my love

like a shining star

Taking my love just a touch too far.



Peter met Frank

formed a dummy run gang

Worked heist or hit for 10 g's flat

Blew heads outta shape for the name of Trotsky, Sinn-

Fein, Hitler cashdown

No hope heroes cover the page

with debts in hell

And fingers in blood

Poor little bodies all covered in scabs

threw it all away

Another life in the grave

Another life in the grave



Life is like a broken arrow-

memory a swingin' door

I could be your great misfortune-

Well I could make you happy

every goddamn single day of your life



Making my love

like a shining star

Like a shining star

Baby that's what you are

Like a shining star



Making my love

like a shining star

Taking my love

Just a touch too far
