Lyrics

[00:12.60] Stars are never sleeping
[00:19.42] Dead ones and the living
[00:21.73]
[00:22.85] We live closer to the earth
[00:25.89]
[00:26.83] Never to the heavens
[00:28.77]
[00:30.14] The stars are never far away
[00:32.77]
[00:33.40] Stars are out tonight
[00:35.33]
[00:36.77] They watch us from behind their shades
[00:39.97]
[00:40.67] Brigitte, Jack and Kate and Brad
[00:43.73] From behind their tinted window stretch
[00:47.60] Gleaming like blackened sunshine
[00:50.11]
[00:54.60] Stars are never sleeping
[00:56.85]
[01:01.79] Dead ones and the living
[01:04.05]
[01:05.18] Waiting for the first move
[01:08.01]
[01:08.64] Satyrs and their child wives
[01:11.33]
[01:11.96] Waiting for the last move
[01:14.90]
[01:15.71] Soaking up our primitive world
[01:18.71]
[01:22.72] Stars are never sleeping
[01:25.09]
[01:29.84] Dead ones and the living
[01:32.22]
[01:33.28] Their jealousy's spilling down
[01:35.59]
[01:36.72] The stars must stick together
[01:39.22]
[01:40.47] We will never be rid of these stars
[01:43.79] But I hope they live forever
[01:46.97] And they know just what we do
[01:49.66]
[01:50.35] That we toss and turn at night
[01:53.04]
[01:54.04] They're waiting to make their moves
[01:56.67]
[01:57.41] But the stars are out tonight
[02:00.10]
[02:09.04] Here they are upon the stairs
[02:12.16] Sexless and not aware
[02:14.98]
[02:15.79] They are the stars, they're dying for you
[02:18.98] But I hope they live forever
[02:21.66]
[02:47.50] They burn you with their radiant smiles
[02:50.75] Trap you with their beautiful eyes
[02:54.30] They're broke and shamed or drunk or scared
[02:57.68] But I hope they live forever
[03:00.56]
[03:01.19] Their jealousy's spilling down
[03:03.69]
[03:04.87] The stars must stick together
[03:07.38]
[03:08.69] We will never be rid of these stars
[03:11.82] But I hope they live forever
[03:15.07] And they know just what we do
[03:17.89]
[03:18.58] That we toss and turn at night
[03:21.52]
[03:22.27] They're waiting to make their moves on us
[03:25.71]
[03:26.28] But the stars are out tonight
[03:28.29]
[03:33.29] The stars are out tonight
[03:35.48]
[03:40.42] The stars are out tonight
[03:42.61]
