He was half buried in the sand
 Just so out of place and ahh
 He was a long  long way from home
 I was a long  long way from home
 And so we talked a little while
 Then I shook his hands....and I
 I was a long  long way from home

 And everything is wonderful
 When everything's alright so alright
 There we were
 One less star tonight

 Na na na na na na na
 Na na na na na na
 (Repeat)

 We thought a better place to go
 Might be the top of purple mountains
 So close to outer space....and ahh
 We were a long, long way from home

 We'd bring some records and a game
 Might take a walk or read a book
 But it's not the same....no ahh
 We're still a long long way from home
 (Chorus)

 I saw a starfish on the ground
 Oh, he was still buried in the sand
 Now he's not so all alone
 And he's finally going home
 So I smiled and I shook his hands....and we were singin'

 Na na na na na na na
 Na na na na na na
 (Repeat)

 There we were one less star tonight
 There we were one more star tonight
