The Rise of the Starman Lyrics

As if out of nowhere they fell to earth
Space invaders on a quest to save the world

We've got five years of pain until we die
Only five years remain, what a surprise
You and 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 and 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 and 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 and I, saw him waiting in the sky
The rise and fall of the Starman
