I rewrote the lyrics to Lana Del Rey's "Born to Die" to be about the life and death of stars, for a school project. Audio is the official instrumental version of the song and does not belong to me.

My lyrics:
Verse 1: 
Born in the dust and gas
Her life span decided by mass
She’s come far from protostar 
To main sequence
Can’t tell from Earth’s distance
All the changes she’s been through 

Verse 2:
One day she’ll lose her heat
Contract, and rapidly cool down
Some could implode, and others might explode  
Collapse into a blackhole
Gravitational pull
So strong, death is coming

Chorus:
Just because they shine
Doesn’t mean they’re alive
You think that stars will burn forever
But they don’t
I’ll tell you why
Though she seems bright
That’s only her after-light
They’ve been dead for many years
To us, but for them, it’s the blink of an eye

And then hydrogen runs out
Right out of the core
Fuse the helium again
Fuse other elements, and then…

She’ll run out of them too
What’s a star to do?
Cause like you and I…
Stars are born, then die
