Intro riff
She turned the nightlight on a blew him a kiss
He stared back through his green crayola eyes
She traced his likeness from off the back of a disc
Next to the box-top promise of the biggest prize
Joining a fan club with my friends
Filling our bathtubs with T-shirts and 8 x 10's
He looks so dreamy, I'm in love from afar
When I'm picking up a fallen star
Riff
Downstairs the late show's blasting 'age of the rock'
The greedy monks playin' last Sunday at the milky way
Mom's writing checks to the minister in the corner singing 'dig down deep'.
'Cause if you wanna go to heaven all you gotta so is pay to pray
Joining a fan club with my pen
Filling my bathtub with Holy water and amens
He looks so dreamy, I'm in love from afar
When I'm picking up a fallen star
Bridge
(I have no idea what's going on here)
Shake that woody
Shake it for me St. Pinocchio
You've paid your money
now watch that money grow
Joining a fan club, best be warned
He turns me on when he wears that lampshade crown of thorns
We'd be so dreamy, sharing his black caviar
While I'm picking up a fallen star
Joining a fan club is a big mistake
I still get heartburn when I think about all of the stamps I ate
I wished I'd loved him, before fate crashed his car
Say a prayer for the fallen star
