Up to the Stars lyrics

[NOGUCHI]
Marilyn Monroe
When she left the show
Came to my table
Not long ago
Our final scene
Me and Norma Jean
End of the fable
Tag on her toe

When Elvis broke
That earthly tether
I tied together
It'll be in my memoirs
In which I write
I wonder whether
He floated like a feather
Up to the stars

Oh, Natalie Wood
Oh, Natalie won’t
Leave a legend
When she left that boat
Who, when, and why
Did this person die?
Go fish the ocean
Where the answers float
Poor Sharon Tate!
So goddarn scary!
So arbitrary!
It left some nasty scars
But set me straight
These things you bury
It ain't what you carry
Up to the stars, hey!

(Dance break, NOGUCHI scats)

[NOGUCHI]
Once I get you up here
On the stainless steel
I'll take the wheel
And watch us right
Once I get you up here
Where it’s all so real
You can't conceal
What's deep inside
Of you

Ah, dead, dead, dead
Blind, deaf, and dumb
You're just a mummy
So you're mum, mum, mum
Can't make you walk
But I'll make you talk
Tell me what you were
Tell me where you're from
The cause of death
For now, is pending
Soon, I’ll be sending
Off to the lab in jars
Pieces of you
That need some tending
For that happy ending
Up to the-

Truth, when we conceive it
And we believe it
That’s when your story's finally ours
A lofty goal
’Til we achieve it
We'll have to leave it
Up to the stars
Up to the stars
Those shiny stars
Twinkle, twinkle stars!
