I was circling 'round like a lost dog at night
Sniffing around for some sign of life
Then Sammy sang and it felt so right
Started up a fire that's never been put out

'Cause every star is a fading sun
Let's light it up
Every kid gotta hit the ground and run
Let's light it up
Oh, light it up

Now things began to change in my neighborhood
The girls were looking pretty and the booze began to taste so good
Every generation gotta go 'round the bend
Take a little trip and hopefully get back again

'Cause every star is a fading sun
Come on, let's light it up
Every kid gotta hit the ground and run
Let's light it up

Oh, we want it, yeah we want it
We can have it, so let's have it
Yeah, we want it, yeah, we want it
We can have it, let's have it, let's have it

Every star is a fading sun
Hey, let's light it up
Every kid gotta hit the ground and run
Come on, let's light it up
Let's light it up
