She's a galaxy, the center of her own space
Constellations in her eyes and star-crossed face
And when she talks I melt without a trace
And she doesn't have a clue who the hell I am
I'm a dreamer but I haven't got a plan
Just an American dreaming of Ireland
I'll never know her
She's a star, she's a star
And she doesn't even know my name
From afar, and it's such a sick and twisted
Game that we play with celebrity and fame
It was a cold, cold day until I met
My little star
The whole world knows her, but they can't pronounce her name
And I'm no one, but I think that it's a shame
In the picture but just outside the frame
And it's something that I feel like I can't trust
Like there's nothing I can do before I rust
And when she smiles, my heart turns into dust
I'll never know her
Too far below her
She's a star, she's a star
And she doesn't even know my name
From afar, and it's such a sick and twisted
Game that we play with celebrity and fame
It was a cold, cold day until I met
My little star
Celebrity skin and bright, expensive clothes
What a culture to fall in love with someone you don't know
God's image is in the tabloids, it's a joke
At the expense of the world
She's a star, she's a star
And she doesn't even know my name
From afar, and it's such a sick and twisted
Game that we play with celebrity and fame
It was a cold, cold day until I met
My little star
My little star
My little star
