Captain Beefheart Brown Star Lyrics

Brown Star Lyrics

I know of a Brown Star  
That only very certain people have found  
For years and years they been lookin` around  
A lot of people lookin` up  
But very few of them lookin` down  
Well they searched high and low for that little glow  
That`ll make them happy  
Some searched fast and they went on past  
Some went slow but couldn`t let it go  
I know of a Brown Star  
That only very certain people have found  
You can ask a dog why he`s so happy  
Just waggin` his tail around  
Or a frog what makes him jump around  
Follow a sailin` cloud until it dumps  
The rain right down  
But ask a man and a woman if they`ve seen  
A Brown Star around  
Some will say yes and some will say no  
Some will just laugh and some will just glow  
Some will say why do you ask  
Some will say well don`t you know  
Then there`ll be the one that says  
It`s already been found  
But you ask a child and they`ll just jump up and down  
Sayin` we found a Brown Star  
Right on the ground
