Song 8: Star Chaser [Verse 1] Alarm goes off at 4 AM, the tester's coming today Gotta milk them out exactly right, no room for halfway She's kicking at the stand again, the scale says something weird Is that the standard number or the projected one I feared [Pre-Chorus] 305-day, actual day, am I reading this thing right? Did she peak too early or too late last night? [Chorus] I'm chasing stars, I'm chasing stars Refreshing ADGA in the dark Did she make it, did she break it Are the numbers gonna spark? One more pound, one more test One more morning second-guessing I'm chasing stars, I'm chasing stars And I won't sleep till I know [Verse 2] The spreadsheet's got more columns than my kitchen's got clean mugs Butterfat and protein and a formula I fudged She milked eight pounds this morning — wait, is that the one that counts? Standard, not projected — God, I always mix the amounts [Pre-Chorus] The website says one thing, the paperwork says another I texted three goat friends and also called my mother [Chorus] I'm chasing stars, I'm chasing stars Refreshing ADGA in the dark Did she make it, did she break it Are the numbers gonna spark? One more pound, one more test One more morning second-guessing I'm chasing stars, I'm chasing stars And I won't sleep till I know [Bridge] (spoken, increasingly unhinged) Okay so the STANDARD is what she actually milked Not the 305-day projection Which is a DIFFERENT number On a DIFFERENT page And you have to use the RIGHT one Or you'll think she starred when she DIDN'T Or worse — she DID star and you didn't CELEBRATE And she DESERVED that celebration, Karen She stood on that milking stand TWICE A DAY [Chorus] I'm chasing stars, I'm chasing stars Refreshing ADGA in the dark Did she make it, did she break it Are the numbers gonna spark? One more pound, one more test One more morning second-guessing I'm chasing stars, I'm chasing stars [Outro] (quiet, relieved) …she got her star (beat drop, explosion) SHE GOT HER STAR!
