Basketball Star from Mostly Words by Regal Sloan

why do i let the stars control me
is it because i am a gypsy?
how can you tell yourself that you're just watching
how can you look at yourself and be fleeting

it doesn't shape a thing

now i'm telling you from far away
coz now i'm telling you from far away
the stars arn't glistenin' from far away
the stars arn't listening' from far away
tha stars arn't glistenin'

i see you dance
i see you move
i see things in between your grooves
i see you like paper wraps rock
and i see you down, like water down the drain; fuck the pain away

monkey see and monkey do, so
take a hit from,
phallic tubes
between me, and
between you, i
want to believe

water cuts
paper rock
scissors stuck
and you're shot
and i know it's a movement
and i know, it's a dance to you

now im tellin you, from far away
now im tellin you, from far away
the stars arn't listenin' from far away
tha stars arn't listenin'

i wanna know, how to be, when i'm stuck, bein' a fool,
and i know, how i should, be alone, for a day or two

and i wanna destroy you
(like a record on a coffee table)
and i, wanna adore you
(like a well-timed pickup line)
and i,
(like a basketball star, behind the back, it's a mace attack)
and i, wanna guard you
(like the plate of a guitar)

and i, wanna be, a basketball star behind the back
and i, wanna be, a basketball star behind the back
