The Rise of the Starman Songtext
von Arjen Lucassen’s Supersonic Revolution

As if out of nowhere, they fell to Earth
Space invaders on a quest to save the world
We got five years of pain until we die
Only five years remain, what a surprise

You an′ me, right here for all to see
The rise of the Starman


He will bring salvation, saw in a dream
He'll convey a message of hope and relief
Only five years are left before our fall
A lousy five years at best, that′s all we've got
You an' me, one day he′ll set us free
The rise of the Starman

And then out of nowhere, he set the world on fire
This cosmic messenger of dreams blew our minds
He′s got five years of fame before he dies
Only five years remain, what a surprise

You an' I, we will never ever die
The rise of the Starman


As the kids were cheering, he paid the price of fame
On his final night, he gave it all and died on stage
Only five years were left before he fell
A lousy five years at best, inside this hell
You an′ I saw him waiting in the sky
The rise and fall of the Starman
