Well you can't see the stars in the city, no Though the hospital lights sure are pretty, yeah Well my wings are mud and I'm two feet tall, all right Won't you meet me out in the dark night [Chorus] Got the windshield wipers And the shooting star You're the nearest thing to heaven That I've seen by far Well I miss my friends over the sea And I'd wish they'd come back here and strangle me Because I've burned the rice and my soul is ice, oh yeah Oh heaven won't you save me a slice [Chorus] Got the windshield wipers And the shooting star You're the nearest thing to heaven That I've seen by far My esophagus is dry Won't you pour me a co*ktail before I die We're gonna tune up an amplifier Yeah one of these days I'm gonna stop asking why [Chorus] Got the windshield wipers And the shooting star You're the nearest thing to heaven That I've seen by far The sky is black Black as tar I've got the windshield wipers And the shooting star Ohhhhhhhhhh
