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 to 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 stars, they're dying for you 
But I hope they live forever 

They burn 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
