Black Star Dancing Lyrics

[Verse 1: Noel Gallagher]
If not for the mountains
Tell me who will stand tall?
If it's the money you’re counting
Then I hope you got it all
Nature is dancing
And it makes me sweat
The echoes are clearing
But we ain't done yet
But we ain't done yet

[Chorus 1: Noel Gallagher, YSÉE]
We can ride on
We can ride all night
(It's part of the game now)
And we can ride on
We can ride on
You make me shine like a black star dancing
(We're one and the same now)
I'm flying, I'm flying
I'm flying, flying, flying

[Verse 2: Noel Gallagher]
If not for tomorrow
Can we live for tonight?
The future we'll borrow
It'll be alright
Nature is dancing
And it makes me sweat
The echoes are clearing
But we ain't done yet
But we ain't done yet
[Chorus 2: Noel Gallagher, YSÉE]
And we can ride on
We can ride all night
(It's part of the game now)
And we can ride on
We can ride all night
(We're one and the same now)
You make me shine like a black star dancing
(I can't remember your name now)
You make me shine like a black star dancing
You got it if you want it
You know you got it if you want it
I'm flying, I'm flying
I'm flying, flying, flying

[Outro: Noel Gallagher]
Nature is dancing
But we ain't done yet
Nature is dancing
But we ain't done yet
Nature is dancing
But we ain't done yet
Nature is dancing
But we ain't done yet

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Answer

Noel Gallagher on the sound of the song:

It manages to combine the influences of David Bowie, INXS, U2, Queen, Indeep AND ZZ Top FFS!…I might have been watching too much Top Of The Pops recently…anyway, it’s ‘dope’, not my words, but the words of Nile Rodgers who literally danced in the studio when he heard it!
