oh stars are never sleeping
oh oh oh oh 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 the shades
breezy jack and kate
and bride from behind their tinted windows twitch
gleaming like blackened sunshine
oh oh oh oh stars are never sleeping
oh oh oh oh dead ones and the living
waiting for the first move
sailors and the child wives
waiting for the last move
soaking up our primitive world
oh stars are never sleeping
oh oh oh oh dead ones and the living
their jealous is feeling down
the stars must stick together
we will never be rid of the 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
tonight tonight
here they are upon the stairs
sexless and all around they are
the stars are dying for you
but i hope they live forever
they burn you with their radiant smiles
and trap you with their beautiful eyes
their broken shame or drunk or scared
but i hope they'll live forever
their jealousy's feeling 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
stars are out tonight yeah
oh oh
the stars are out tonight
oh the stars are out tonight yeah
