Baby, I’m a Big Star Now Lyrics by Counting Crows

This Desert Life

1999

I'm gonna get out on the road tonight
Because I got a hollow in my head

I'm just checking it up
Baby, one more time for you
Checking it up until the pile hits the sky

It's like I think I'm sick of cocaine
But I got a feeling like it's running in my veins

I'm just checking it up
Baby, one more time for you
Checking it up until the pile hits the sky
Well, even the best years leave a lot to be desired
And then they pass you by

All these seasons
All this time
Spinning past 'til they leave you far behind
Lay me down in the circle where the spotlight shines
Because all this pleasure gets me high

Some people will cut you 'til you're bleeding
But not me, because I just wanna do it to myself

I'm just checking it up
Baby, one more time for you
Checking it up until the pile hits the sky
Well, even the best years are a waste of time
But baby, I'm a big star now

All these seasons
All this time
Spinning past 'til they leave you far behind
Lay me down in the circle where the spotlight shines
Because all this pleasure gets me high

All these seasons
All this time
Spinning past 'til they leave you far behind
Lay me down in the circle where the spotlight shines
Turn the back on the people who draw the lines
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
Because all this pleasure gets them high
