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

Birgitte, 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 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
