lyrics

It began 5 billion years ago, with a dying star explosion
Shock waves hurtling through deep space, set wheels in motion

Fast forward to the present day - Hey! Things don’t seem quite right
I’m stardust magic glitter dust, but I just can’t sleep at night

I am not a precious snowflake, I am not unique
I am not a rhodes scholar genius, I am not a sexy beast

You wanna fight me? Hey! You’ll probably win!
I haven’t got thunderball fists. So punch in the nose and watch me bleed
Show me that I still exist

Waste of a supernova, bastard of Jehovah
Orphan son with a chip on my shoulder
Sometimes, I stop and wonder - am I a cosmic blunder?
And if so, are the stars laughing at me?

For every star you see at night, there are a million that you don’t
For every dream that springs to life, there are a million that won’t

I’ve been a hero only once before, found a lost dog, it was crying
And I’ve been trying, living and dying, to play the role of hero once more

We grind ourselves down every day, reaching for apples that get snatched away
Better to live and learn to smile, embrace our flaws with grace and style
Oh yeah!

It began five billion years ago and here I am still today
The mutant son of a suicide star deep in the milky way

I’m pretty sure that I’m a piece of an unseen master plan
But if I screw up just cut me some slack
I’m doing the best I can

about

Stroller Coaster Detroit, Michigan

We play all original music, mostly about science fiction or heartbreak, or sometimes both. We have an instrumental about big mountain skiing, a scorcher about the last days of the dinosaurs, and a soulful ballad about skipping prom to see the Dead Milkmen. We hope you enjoy the music we've posted here. ... more
