“Well you wish upon a star, that turns into a plane…”

The first words are so promising and just like that back to reality. Yeah, look who’s left to blame… bam!

“If you were a pill, I’d take a handfull at my will and I’d knock you back with something sweet and strong ”

“Are you strung out on some face? well I know it ain’t mine”

“Well if tonight belongs to you, tomorrow’s mine”

“Tonight makes love to all your kind… Tomorrow’s picking valentines”

The lines keep coming and each delivered in a voice that may be jubilant, passionate, non chalant, or a weary croak throughout its three minutes. Classic Westerberg!
