Superstars

You've read about me in the papers
You've seen me on the movie screen
You know everything about me
I'm your late night fantasy
But don't think I can't hear you calling
From the shadow of the 14th row
Cause I've had the same dreams you've had
A few short years ago and that's why I know
You and I
We will climb so high
Superstars
Whoa whoa you and I
And we'll just close our eyes
And we'll become our fantasy
Superstars yes, yes, superstars
Step right this way. Everyone's welcome,
We want your dreams.
The offer's simple, momentary immortality
Cause I've seen them all you know
I've seen them climb and I've seen them fall
I've seen them come and I've seen them go
And through it all there's only one thing that matters
Love - And that's simply
You and I
Yes, You and I
For we are superstars

Interpretation
To be a world-famous superstar is usually a fleeting thing, a fantasy. Love is what really matters, not fame.
