Baby, I'm A Big Star Now Lyrics
'Cause, I got a hollow in my head
Baby, one more time for you
Checking it up
Until the pot hits the sky
I'm sick of cocaine
Got a feeling like
It's running in my veins
Baby, one more time for you
Checking it up
Until the pot hits the sky
Even the best years
Leave a lot to be desired
When they pass you by
All this time
Spinning round
Until they leave you
Far behind
Lay me down in the circle
Where the spotlight shines
All this pleasure gets me high
Until you're bleeding
But not me
I just want to do it to myself
Baby, one more time for you
Checking it up
Until the pot hits the sky
Even the best years
Are a waste of time
But, Baby, I'm a big star now
All this time
Spinning round
Until they leave you
Far behind
Lay me down in the circle
Where the spotlight shines
All these seasons
All this time
Spinning round
Until they leave you
Far behind
Where the spotlight shines
Turn your back back on the people
Who draw the line
Put your faith in the answers
That you can find
Hit the Ground hard running down
That highway line
Say a prayer for the ones
You have left behind
I don't want to give it back...

Adam Duritz kicks my ass.

i never thought id like a song with "checkin it up" in the chorus.. but adam duritz is a genius so..

I've loved CC for yonks but only recently heard this song - it's so gorgeous.. gonna come pretty high on my list of favourites!
When he breaks into: 'All these seasons All this time..' I get goosepimples. The emotion this song carries is immense.

I can't believe this song is only a bonus track in the UK!!!! It's soooooo good, one of the best off the new album.

Yea he does! This song is so cool. I especially like it towrds the end
Lay me down in the circle Where the spotlight shines Turn your back back on the people Who draw the line Put your faith in the answers That you can find Hit the Ground hard running down That highway line Say a prayer for the ones You have left behind
Amazing

This song plays at the end of the movie Rounders.

I think he's actually saying "until the pie hits the sky" -- a play on the phrase "pie in the sky."
