STARS      I was never one for saying what I really feel   Except tonight I'm bringing everything I know that's real   [Chorus:]   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   Hey, but it gets lonely here   When there's no one here to share   You can shake it all away if you will hear my story   Some people ask for fame like athlete's in a game   We break our collarbones and come up swinging   Some of us are downed some of us a crowned   And some are lost and never found but most have seen it all   They live there lives in sad cafe's and music halls   They always come up singing   Some make it when they're young before the world has done its dirty job   Later on someone will say you've had your day,   And now you must make way   But they will never know the pain of living   With a name you'd never own   Or the many years forgetting   What you know too well   That the ones who get the crown   Have been let down   Yet try to make amends   Without defending   Perhaps pretending   You never saw the eyes   Of grown men of twenty-five   That follow as you walk   And ask for autographs   Or kiss you on the cheek   But you never can believe   They really love you   Some make it when they're old   Perhaps they have a soul   They're not afraid to bear   Or perhaps there's nothing there   [Chorus]   But most have seen it all   They live there lives   In sad cafe's and music halls   They always come up singing   Singing   Singing   Singing
