Her life is a show

One act follows the other everywhere she goes

She takes the leading role

She never plays herself

Save for the time she's on the stage



Color her black or white

Now either one reflects the teardrops

One extreme for the other

Nothing in between

Color her white for the princess she could be

Color her black for the troubled child she plays so well

Well she's dancing through hell on a dream



And blue is soul of the one

Reaching for the man that she hasn't got yet

And holding on to those hearts for lost causes

She could be so bright

But she's reaching for us all

Color her blue for the loneliness she feels

She's hiding her heart in the sky



And this is a thursday afternoon

It's just another thursday afternoon

It's just another thursday afternoon



Color me grey

I'm a little bit of everything today

And i'm not sure just where i'm going

Color me grey

Wishing i was something more of distinction



Color us all 'cause we're just stars

Wishing our lives away

Into the distance

And out of existence



Color her black or white

Color her blue

Or color me grey

Color us all - we're stars

Wishing our lives away

Now we're stars
