Roll Back the Clouds Songtext
von Christie Hennessy

I′ve been sitting here so long, for you to hear my song
And all you want to know, have I been on the radio
Who's the biggest star I′ve seen, what is my favourite scene
And if I get the job would I sing on Mars

Yes Sir I would sing on Mars, I'd play upon a star
I'd sing songs of the Sun and when my job was done
I would say I love you so, I′d like to play one more
Just to all young lovers, for the road

Tell me Son, yeah just how far
I need to go to be a star


I have known my highs and lows, I′ve worked in every show
I've played in every town, brought some houses down
The critics never noticed me, I′m not a star you see
And yet I give my heart to every part

I would stand for hours and hours, I'd walk through some showers
With my dancing shoes and my dreams and views
I walk upon an empty stage with one light in my face
To be told don′t phone us, but we'll phone you

Tell me Son, yeah just how far
I need to go to be a star

Every day the same old scene, the same old happenings
A hundred miles of shows and no place to go
And when your luck has all run out, you′re asked to take a bow
You've just stolen the show now you're on your own

Yes Sir I would sing on Mars
My dream scene is me a star


Is me a star
I am a star
