Sweet madness it must be wrong   What kind of fool imagines love   With all this going on   Stars burning in the empty sky    And the city is aflame   With a million lights   And they come and they go   In the blink of an eye    People are like suns      Science will enable us to hear    To be crystal clear   To make diamonds in the shifting sand   Better take all the love that you got in a single hand      And they come and they go   In the fullness of time   People are like suns   They are burning up inside      People are like suns   Breathing into life   All that's good in us   To saints become   And they come and they go   Yeah they come and they go      People are like suns   People are like suns   And we'll go out tonight   Set the town alight   All fade into white
