Lyrics
Stars, they come and go, they come fast or slow
They go like the last light of the sun, all in a blaze
All you see is glory
But it gets lonely there when there's no one here to share
You can shake it away, if you hear a story
People lust for fame like athletes in a game
We break their collarbones and come up swinging
Some of them are downed
Some are lost and never found
But most have seen it all
They live their lives in sad cafes and music halls
They always have a story
Some make it when they're young
Before world has done its dirty job
And later on someone will say
You've had your day, now you must make way
But you never know the pain of using a name you never owned
Years forgetting what you know too well
You who gave the crown have been let down
You try to make amends without defending
Pretending you never saw the eyes of young men in twenty-five
Who follow as you walk and ask for autographs
Kissed you on the cheek
You never could believe they really loved you
Some make it when they're old
Perhaps they have a soul they're not afraid to bare
Perhaps there's nothing there
And anyway that's not what i meant to say
I meant to tell about a story
Since we all have stories
But I can't remmeber it anyway
So I'll tell about the moon that is in the United States today
Permiating even Switzerland
It goes
But I'll continue anyway until I get it together
Some women have a body men will want to see
So they put it on display
Some people play a fine guitar, I could listen to them play all day
But anyway, I'm trying to tell my story
Janis Ian told it very well
Janice Joplin told it even better
Billie Holiday even told it even better
We always, we always, we always have a story
The latest story that I know is the one that I'm supposed to go out with
And the latest story that I know is the one that I'm supposed to go out with
And the latest story that I know is the one that I'm supposed to go out with
And the latest story that I know is the one that I'm supposed to go out with
