Verse 1

Well you wish upon a star,  
that turns into a plane  
and I quess that's right on par,  
with who is left to blame

Chorus

If you were a pill, I'd take a hand ful at my will,
and knock you back with something sweet and strong,

E|---------------------------------------|
pretty tired you wake up, in February make-up,
Like a fool and the morning star you're gone 
Tonight makes love to all your kind tomorrow's picking valentines   

Verse 2

You pop up in some place,  
so sick and so refined   
Are you strung out on some face,  
well I know it ain't mine

Chorus

If you were a pill, I'd take a handful at my will,
and knock you back with something sweet and strong.
Trouble keeping your head up, when you're hungry and you're fed up,
like a moon and a morning' star you're gone. 
Tonight makes love to all you're kind, tomorrow's picking valentines.

If you were a pill, I'd take a handful at my will,

Yesterday was their's to say, this is their world and their time,
Well if tonight belongs to you, tomorrow's mine!

Tonight makes love to all your kind, tomorrow's picking Valentines
