A school day's friend called me up the other day
he was in town, if I'd come down to see ‘em play
I must admit, to see this sheer height of fashion
could've also dragged me into some deep depression
for the stars will stay – far away
So I passed by and sneaked in through the old stage door
humble, just to stumble on this track of fame once more
I must admit, it was a sheer height of passion,
a glimpse of a life in some other dimension
cause the stars will stay – far away
No need to dare
no need to blare
no need to importune
for I'm the second man on the moon
I'm just the second man on the moon
There was this girl at the show the other day
just too good to be true or to simply go astray
I must admit, to hear her enthused confessions
could've easily dragged me into some deep depression
for the stars will stay – far away
I gave my best to enjoy a swell party
introducing my old friend to this myth named Astarte
I must admit, I had to cool down my envy
but then again, we've had my moments of plenty
still the stars will stay – far away
No need to blare
no need to dare
no need to importune
for I'm the second man on the moon
I'm just the second man on the moon
