You take a wrong turn
Drop a ball fall short
You labor in vain
Yeah you choke miss the boat
Bomb out cave in fall flat on your face
Yeah that's everyday life
But sometimes

You get a good hit the stars line up
Your ship comes in you make your mark
You catch a break and you're sittin on top
Yeah cream of the crop
You're the stuff you set the bar
You beat the odds and there ya are
You spend most your life sittin' in the dark
Waitin' your turn
But every now and then
You burn

You go awhile in style chest out chin up
You're king for a day
And then reality hits like fist
Hits ya hard steals your thunder away
And when it beats you down
The wheel spins around

You get a good hit the stars line up
Your ship comes in you make your mark
You catch a break and you're sittin on top
Yeah cream of the crop
You're the stuff you set the bar
You beat the odds and there ya are
Spent most your life sittin in the dark
Waiting your turn
But every now and then
You burn

You burn like a beacon
Burn like a porch light
Burn like a blue star
Burn like a bonfire
Burn like a flicker in a red hot flame
Burn like a match in deep dark cave
Like midnight mile high blaze

You get a good hit the stars line up
Your ship comes in you make your mark
You catch a break and you're sittin' on top
Yeah cream of the crop
You're the stuff you set the bar
You beat the odds and there ya are
Spent most your life sittin' in the dark
Waitin' your turn
But every now and then
You burn

Yeah you burn
Like a porch light
Like a blue fire
Your burn burn burn burn
