The Stars (Are Out Tonight)
Stars are never sleepingDead ones and the living
We live closer to the earthNever to the heavensThe stars are never far awayStars are out tonight
They watch us from behind their shadesBrigitte, Jack and Kate and BradFrom behind their tinted window stretchGleaming like blackened sunshine
Stars are never sleepingDead ones and the living
Waiting for the first moveSatyrs and their child wivesWaiting for the last moveSoaking up our primitive world
Stars are never sleepingDead ones and the living
Their jealousy’s spilling downThe stars must stick togetherWe will never be rid of these starsBut I hope they live forever
And they know just what we doThat we toss and turn at nightThey’re waiting to make their movesBut the stars are out tonight
Here they are upon the stairsSexless and unarousedThey are the stars, they’re dying for youBut I hope they live forever
They burn you with their radiant smilesTrap you with their beautiful eyesThey’re broke and shamed or drunk or scaredBut I hope they live forever
Their jealousy’s spilling downThe stars must stick togetherWe will never be rid of these starsBut I hope they live forever
And they know just what we doThat we toss and turn at nightThey’re waiting to make their moves on usBut the stars are out tonight
The stars are out tonightThe stars are out tonight.
