The Stars (Are Out Tonight)

Stars are never sleeping
Dead ones and the living

We live closer to the earth

Never to the heavens

The stars are never far away

Stars are out tonight

They watch us from behind their shades

Brigitte, Jack and Kate and Brad
From behind their tinted window stretch
Gleaming like blackened sunshine

Stars are never sleeping

Dead ones and the living

Waiting for the first move

Satyrs and their child wives

Waiting for the last move

Soaking up our primitive world

Stars are never sleeping

Dead ones and the living

Their jealousy's spilling down

The stars must stick together

We will never be rid of these stars
But I hope they live forever
And they know just what we do

That we toss and turn at night

They're waiting to make their moves

But the stars are out tonight

Here they are upon the stairs
***less and not aware

They are the stars, they're dying for you
But I hope they live forever

They burn you with their radiant smiles
Trap you with their beautiful eyes
They're broke and shamed or drunk or scared
But I hope they live forever

Their jealousy's spilling down

The stars must stick together

We will never be rid of these stars
But I hope they live forever
And they know just what we do

That we toss and turn at night

They're waiting to make their moves on us

But the stars are out tonight

The stars are out tonight

The stars are out tonight
