Spoken intro, low and echoing, like a starman fading in the void) Wham-bam, thank you, ma’am… but the spotlight’s gone cold tonight. She packed her sequins and her supernova smile, left me with the ashes of our wild ride. Verse 1 She stood there in the doorway, halo cracked like a vinyl groove, Eyes like black holes, sucking the glitter right out of the room. “Sweet thing,” she whispered, “you’re a rocket with a busted fuse, Chasing shadows in the strobe light, but I’m done dancing to your blues.” No more love in the launchpad, no fire in the afterglow, She says the stardust we snorted turned to dust on the floor below. I’m a fallen satellite, tumbling through the neon rain, Begging for one more orbit, but she’s rewriting the refrain. Chorus Oh, darling, let me be your better man, your chrome-plated dream, I’ll trade my jagged edges for a heart that gleams. I’ll climb the ladder to the stars, rewrite my rebel code, For you, I’d shatter every mirror, light the ultimate overload. I love you like a supernova—blinding, brief, and true— Come back to me, my cosmic queen, I’ll burn it all for you. Yeah, I’ll be that man, that mad, wild spark in the dark, Just say the word, and I’ll ignite, leave my wreckage in the park. Verse 2 Remember the hotel haze, tangled in electric sheets, We were gods in leather, kings of the midnight streets? But I played the fool with my phantom crowds, my amp turned up to scream, While you waited in the wings, stitching up my torn-up seams. Now she’s gone galactic, orbiting some steadier sun, Says I gotta shed this skin, become the one who’s won. No more alibis in amphetamine, no more alibis at all, I’ll face the void without my mask, answer her siren’s call. Bridge (Guitar solo swells, warped and wailing, like a spaceship distress signal) Picture me, remade in your fire—wings of wire and will, Sailing through the asteroid belt of my every ill. I’ll polish up my soul till it shines like a diamond dog, Chase away the goblins in my head, lift you from the fog. One chance, my love, one spark to set the heavens ablaze, I’ll be the hero in your story, through the cosmic maze. Chorus (Outro, building to a frantic, fading echo) Oh, darling, let me be your better man, your chrome-plated dream, I’ll trade my jagged edges for a heart that gleams (gleams for you). I’ll climb the ladder to the stars, rewrite my rebel code, For you, I’d shatter every mirror, light the ultimate overload. I love you like a supernova—blinding, brief, and true— Come back to me, my cosmic queen… I’ll burn it all… for you. (Fade out on a single, trembling chord) Wham-bam… goodbye… or hello again?
