its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
You'll make the scene like you always do
Goin' up stream down the ave to fuck some
Trophy boy that you won tonight at the bar
So bad, so far
You'll make him sad, shooting star
When it was me
I was momentarily proud
I'm drunk on dreams now I'm glad
I didn't say out loud
You said you'd be for real but
I don't think that you are
So bad, so far
You make me sad, shooting star
You distant cold, a sight to behold
Everybody just sighs
Nobody gets on
With you very long, cause you don't feel bad when you lie
I'm going to sleep now
Back to first square one
Square two will be where I can deal with the shit you've just done
It won't be soon
To say the least it's gonna be hard
So bad, so far
Your love is sad, shooting star
Your love is sad, shooting star
Goin' up stream down the ave to fuck some
Trophy boy that you won tonight at the bar
So bad, so far
You'll make him sad, shooting star
When it was me
I was momentarily proud
I'm drunk on dreams now I'm glad
I didn't say out loud
You said you'd be for real but
I don't think that you are
So bad, so far
You make me sad, shooting star
You distant cold, a sight to behold
Everybody just sighs
Nobody gets on
With you very long, cause you don't feel bad when you lie
I'm going to sleep now
Back to first square one
Square two will be where I can deal with the shit you've just done
It won't be soon
To say the least it's gonna be hard
So bad, so far
Your love is sad, shooting star
Your love is sad, shooting star

Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.

Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.
he does say "shooting star" is a girl. cute nickname. shooting star imagery is widespread and wodnerful.
for some reason i thought this was off his first album back in '04, before i knew about him. it has a very raw fresh sound (well the whole album does) that seems reborn like a debut album typically does. and he was entering a new phase of his life when he produce this album... but this song is amazing. i just wish he got to see its final production and made it sound how he would have wanted it to
