lyrics

Stars So Bright

It's like we're living
In a made-up country
- Bits of the real world
Stuck together one night
It's all so convincing
With its' language and customs
I'd like to move here
But it's not quite right

Where are the sirens
And the older people
Nothing is happening
Just out of sight
If we go quickly
Does the background move as well
If we don't look up
Are there stars so bright

I'm just not sure
What it is I'm looking for
Now all I know is
It's not around here
I'm sure it was the last time
I came calling
Something bad is happening
And I can sense the fear

Maybe I'm a target
In a land of beauty
People forced to actions
Far beyond their will
Paradise despoiled now
By the darker forces
Of other men's desires
In a world that's ill

If we don't look up
Are there stars so bright
