GoldstaR Lyrics

Tonne-up on a Gold Star

At least that's what he'll tell them

A nineteen sixties film star

His four-stroke piece of heaven

Fuel tank rattling empty

A farmhouse glow in the distance

Counting corners through black trees

His prayers carried on air

Chrome Gold Star flying away into the night

He dreams of waking but can't open his eyes

On hallowed wheels he rides

Machine and man alive

He pulls up into the courtyard

To a welcome party for kings

Red garland hung on his headlight

A promise, he'll swing by again

One week later he comes back

No person there to be found

Leading out from the back porch

A trail of blood on the ground

Chrome Gold Star flying away into the night

He dreams of waking but can't open his eyes

On hallowed wheels he rides

Machine and man alive

Chrome Gold Star flying away into the night

He dreams of waking but can't open his eyes

On hallowed wheels he rides

Machine and man alive.

Dripping from the leaves

The trail goes deeper

Faces in the trees

Pushing forwards

Voices in the mist

Darkness closing in

Drawing him inside

No way back again

They will honour him

Forest takes him in

The way ahead divides

A tyre picked out by the light

Within the weeds and vines

Gold Star trapped inside

Wrapped around the bars

A rider rooted to the tank

Red petals all around

His own face looking back

A crown upon his head

Branches growing from his eyes

Screaming at the stars

Machine and man entwined

Tonne up on a Goldstar

At least that's what he remembers

Standing in the courtyard

Red garland held in his hands

Tonne up on a Goldstar

At least that's what he remembers

Standing in the courtyard

Red garland held in his hands
