Catching Stars on Paper Plates Lyrics

To a one-time wizard
I just hope this dream will end
Reflections on the sidewalk are still breathing
Please let me see
I'm climbing on a ten-foot globe
Wizard, oh Wizard
I just got fired from the last job in town
I want you to turn the world into a giant cigarette
So I can burn it
Burn it like the flag

We're catching stars
On paper plates
In the morning

Brothers, oh brothers in the clouds
When will your hands be clean?
I want you to build a sand dune for me
Catch it like the wind in a butterfly's net
I refuse!
I refuse to let you straighten me out
My backbone of defence
My backbone of life
My backbone of wonder
My backbone of thought
My meter is running
Catch me if you can

Catch me
Catch me

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
