The Stars (Are Out Tonight)

Stars are never sleepingThe dead ones and the livingWe live closer to the earthNever to the heavensThe stars are never far awayStars are out tonightThey watch us from behind their shadesBrigitte, Jack and Kate and BradFrom behind their tinted window stretchGleaming like blackened sunshineStars are never sleepingDead ones and the livingWaiting for the first moveSatyrs and their child wivesWaiting for the last moveSoaking up our primitive worldStars are never sleepingDead ones and the livingTheir jealousy's spilling downThe stars must stick togetherWe will never be rid of these starsBut I hope they live foreverAnd they know just what we doThat we toss and turn at nightThey're waiting to make their movesFor the stars are out tonightHere they are upon the stairsSexless and unarousedThey are the stars, they're dying for youBut I hope they live foreverThey burn you with their radiant smilesTrap you with their beautiful eyesThey're broke and shamedOr drunk or scaredBut I hope they live foreverTheir jealousy's spilling downThe stars must stick togetherWe will never be rid of these starsBut I hope they live foreverAnd they know just what we doThat we toss and turn at nightThey're waiting to make their moves on usBut the stars are out tonightThe stars are out tonightThe stars are out tonight
