tha stars [are out tonight] lyrics

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

Sexless and unaroused

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.
