Seen a shooting star tonight,
and I thought of you.
You were trying to break into another world;
a world I never knew.
I always kind of wondered
if you ever made it through.
Seen a shooting star tonight
and I thought of you.

Seen a shooting star tonight,
and I thought of me.
If I was still the same,
if I ever became
what you wanted me to be.
Did I miss the mark
or over-step the line
that only you could see?
Seen a shooting star tonight,
and I thought of me.

Listen to the engine,
listen to the bell,
as the last fire truck from hell
goes rolling by,
all good people are praying.
It's the last temptation,
the last account
the last time you might hear
the sermon on the mount;
the last radio is playing.

Seen a shooting star tonight
slip away.
Tomorrow will be another day.
Guess it's too late to say the things to you
that you needed to hear me say.
Seen a shooting star tonight
slip away.
