Attention. A stardust discrepancy has been detected. Please remain fabulous. borrowed... borrowed... borrowed... stardust... I walked in glowing On a Tuesday night With silver on my shoulders And constellations in my hair The clerk looked up From twenty thousand forms And asked me very softly How I got that sparkle there UNREGISTERED SHIMMER CATEGORY FOUR EXCESSIVE RADIANCE REPORTED AT THE DOOR I signed a form I stamped a page I tried to play my part But every rule dissolved itself The moment I walked in I borrowed stardust For a little while Now every streetlight Thinks I'm the sunrise I borrowed stardust Maybe just enough To make the ordinary world Fall helplessly in love Stardust... Borrowed stardust... Borrowed stardust... The flowers started dancing Outside city hall Three traffic lights were laughing At a bus that missed a turn A banker quit accounting To become a saxophone And someone found their courage In a drawer marked "Never Open" ANOMALY DETECTED JOY LEVELS RISING MULTIPLE CITIZENS UNEXPECTEDLY THRIVING We checked the charts We checked the stars We checked the cosmic logs Nobody could explain Why wonder kept escaping I borrowed stardust For a little while Now every streetlight Thinks I'm the sunrise I borrowed stardust Maybe just enough To make the ordinary world Fall helplessly in love ERROR ERROR EXCESSIVE WONDER DETECTED ERROR ERROR EXCESSIVE WONDER DETECTED Maybe the stars Were never borrowed Maybe they waited Inside us all Maybe the universe Left tiny fingerprints On everything We thought was small PROCESSING... PROCESSING... REASSESSING HUMAN POTENTIAL... I borrowed stardust For a little while Now every streetlight Thinks I'm the sunrise I borrowed stardust And I'm not giving it back The night can file complaints But I'm keeping every spark I borrowed stardust For a little while And suddenly the whole damn sky Is dancing in the aisle Case closed.
