They Might Be Giants - A Shooting Star Is Not A Star lyrics

A shooting star is not a star

Is not a star at all

A shooting star's a meteor

That's heading for a fall

A shooting star is not a star

Why does it shine so bright?

The friction as it falls through air

Produces heat and light

A shooting star or meteor

Whichever name you like

The minute it comes down to Earth

It's called a meteorite
