Stars, they come and go, they come fast they come slow They go like the last light of the sun, all in a blaze And all you see is glory But it gets lonely there when there's no one there to share You can shake it away, if you'll hear a story People lust for fame like athletes in a game They break out collarbones and come up swinging Some of them are downed Some of them are crowned Some are lost and never found But most have seen it all They live their lives in sad cafes and music halls And they always have a story Some make it when they're young Before the world has done its dirty job And later on someone will say "You've had your day, now you must make way" But they'll never know the pain of living with a name you never owned Or the years forgetting what you know too well That you gave the crown have been let down You try to make amends without defending Perhaps pretending you never saw the eyes of young men in twenty-five Who follow as you walk and ask for autographs And kiss you on the cheek and you never really could believe they really loved you Some make it when they're old (Perhaps they have a soul they're not afraid to bare or perhaps there's nothing there) But anyway, that isn't really what I meant to say I meant to tell a story, that I live from day to day Stars, they come and go, they come fast they come slow They go like the last light of the sun, all in a blaze And you always all you see is glory But if you don't mind being patience with my fumbling around I'll come up singing for you, even though I'm down
