its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
I will ask you this.
Can you spare a kiss?
Can you picture this coming from my lips?
A whisper from miles away.
I will send you this
And seal it with a kiss.
Can you take this lipstick and lightplay,
And carry it miles away?
I will walk 'cross the ocean
To where the sky meets the sea,
Give this ghost my devotion,
To keep you from me.
Just say goodbye.
I live, and i'll die.
Hooked on a star, enraptured by the sky,
In love with a satellite.
I can now admit I'm lost in loveliness.
Who could just resist distant beauty?
Find me if you find a way.
You may love it if you tried this detachment.
From this distance the beauty burns brightly.
It's warmer from worlds away.
Just say goodbye.
I live, and i'll die.
Hooked on a star, enraptured by the sky,
In love with a satellite.
I'll stare forever,
And love whatever breaks my heart.
Oh, oh, oh.
I'll stare forever.
And love whatever breaks my heart.
Oh, oh, oh.
Just say goodbye.
I live, and i'll die.
Hooked on a star, enraptured by the sky.
Oh!
Just say goodbye.
I live, and i'll die.
Hooked on a star, enraptured by the sky,
In love with a satellite.
(Oh, oh, oh.)
Just say (just say) goodbye.
I live (I live) and i'll die.
Hooked on a star, enraptured by the sky,
In love with a satellite.
Can you spare a kiss?
Can you picture this coming from my lips?
A whisper from miles away.
I will send you this
And seal it with a kiss.
Can you take this lipstick and lightplay,
And carry it miles away?
I will walk 'cross the ocean
To where the sky meets the sea,
Give this ghost my devotion,
To keep you from me.
Just say goodbye.
I live, and i'll die.
Hooked on a star, enraptured by the sky,
In love with a satellite.
I can now admit I'm lost in loveliness.
Who could just resist distant beauty?
Find me if you find a way.
You may love it if you tried this detachment.
From this distance the beauty burns brightly.
It's warmer from worlds away.
Just say goodbye.
I live, and i'll die.
Hooked on a star, enraptured by the sky,
In love with a satellite.
I'll stare forever,
And love whatever breaks my heart.
Oh, oh, oh.
I'll stare forever.
And love whatever breaks my heart.
Oh, oh, oh.
Just say goodbye.
I live, and i'll die.
Hooked on a star, enraptured by the sky.
Oh!
Just say goodbye.
I live, and i'll die.
Hooked on a star, enraptured by the sky,
In love with a satellite.
(Oh, oh, oh.)
Just say (just say) goodbye.
I live (I live) and i'll die.
Hooked on a star, enraptured by the sky,
In love with a satellite.

He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.
