STARS
Once upon a time the grass was green
And dollar bills went floating by
You’re breathing easy
Nobody can see the gaping wound
Soaked your t-shirt right through

CHORUS:
So forgive me, like you do
For no more me and her and Miserlou
How you liked it when we spun around
Forgive me, like you did
When brightest stars burn out so fast
How dare the earth not stop in your tracks, on me
Can’t you see the ruthless pursuit in me

Not so long ago, you’re on the phone
And making plans for going home
In the dead of winter
All the ones still famous in your mind
Are breaking hearts you leave behind
