A song idea I messed with in the mid 90's. I must have thought it was a pretty good idea because it existed on a few cassettes. I suspect it sort of morphed into the Gearhead Freaks tune "Nacho Collector" once Gian DiMauro got involved but it was different enough to revisit. The middle section was constructed in 2021.

lyrics

STAR-BIRD FULL OF LIGHT

Sometimes I feel that I‘ve been pushed pass my limit
I can barely sing a song without crying
And I’m surely in it
Sometimes I complain
I’m just an old man in this world
Irrelevant on everything I do
Though I keep warm in my heart the reasons why I haven’t part
From this avenue
Life still has meaning

I’m a star-man full of light
Don’t wanna rust wanna try a new bus
I’m a star-bird still in flight
Make no mistake I am more than awake
I’m a star-bird full of light


The sleek and eloquent design provides the perfect cover
From the bitch and babble gushing from my mind
The outcome like no other
The shadow begs to see me tumble aimlessly abroad
Mixing perfect chaos magic with my soul
But beyond the mountain top
my love is never far apart from the avenue

Where life still has meaning…

I’m a star-bird full of light
Don’t wanna rust wanna try a new bus
I’m a star-bird still in flight
Make no mistake I am more than awake
I’m a star-bird full of light

My ego needs all the attention it can find
It is lonely - floating in space with my mental and moral decline
Perhaps it’s time to grow a new face
Every morning I wake I wonder if I’m crazy
Doncha think I would know by now?
I have a vision but the vision is hazy
I’m just trying to figure out how
I can break down these walls
And move on to greener pastures - again!

I’m a star-bird full of light
Don’t wanna rust wanna try a new bus
I’m a star-bird still in flight
Make no mistake I am more than awake
I’m a star-bird full of light

I’m a star-bird full of light
Don’t wanna rust wanna try a new bus
I’m a star-bird still in flight
Make no mistake I am more than awake
I’m a star-bird full of light
