"Star For A Week" lyrics

"Star For A Week"

Anxious mother pleads: 'Come home, Dino'
'I can't believe that's my boy they're talking about'
His dreams are in his motorcycle
He swears he's gonna sort 'em out
He's going barefoot like the man with no name
Gonna break into a bank, if he surrended, imagine the shame

'I just wanna be someone, anyone, but I wanna be a star for a week or two'
'Just wanna be someone, anyone, I'd be complete if I could be a star for a week'

Across the country he's been stealing cars
Playing cat and mouse like a hero on D-day
Shoeless boy, this shotgun baby
Running from the law like it's a holiday
He's a good boy in his heart, but a fool
Don't wanna be a fugitive, he'd rather be at home or in school

'I just wanna be someone, anyone, but I wanna be a star for a week or two'
'Just wanna be someone, anyone, I'd be complete if I could be a star'

Everywhere, he reads: 'Give up, Dino'
'We wanna know what's this death-wish you're talking about'
He's cold, he's hungry and he's scared
He's got his father on his mind and this message to get out
'I wanna steal, wanna give, wanna die, wanna live'
'Wanna find my own identity like any other teenage kid'

'I just wanna be someone, anyone, but I wanna be a star for a week or two'
'Just wanna be someone, anyone, I'd be complete if I could be a star'

'I just wanna be someone, anyone, but I wanna be a star for a week or two'
'Just wanna be someone, anyone, I'd be complete if I could be a star for a week, yeah'
