Stars (Live at the University Theater) - Janis Ian[00:00:00]

Written by：Janis Ian[00:00:02]

I was never one for singing[00:00:14]

What I really feel[00:00:20]

Except tonight I'm bringing[00:00:29]

Everything I know that's real[00:00:35]

Stars they come and go[00:00:43]

They come fast or slow[00:00:48]

They go like the last light[00:00:52]

Of the sun all in a blaze[00:00:54]

And all you see is glory[00:01:02]

But it gets lonely there[00:01:10]

When there's no one here to share[00:01:14]

We can shake it away[00:01:21]

If you'll hear a story[00:01:26]

People lust for fame[00:01:37]

Like athletes in a game[00:01:40]

We break our collarbones[00:01:44]

And come up swinging[00:01:47]

Some of us are downed[00:01:50]

Some of us are crowned[00:01:53]

And some are lost[00:01:57]

And never found[00:01:59]

But most have seen it all[00:02:02]

They live their lives in[00:02:07]

Sad cafes and music halls[00:02:09]

They always have a story[00:02:18]

Some make it when they're young[00:02:26]

Before the world has[00:02:30]

Done its dirty job[00:02:31]

And later on someone will say[00:02:35]

You've had your day[00:02:38]

You must make way[00:02:41]

But they'll never know the pain[00:02:47]

Of living with a name you never owned[00:02:52]

Or the many years forgetting[00:02:58]

What you know too well[00:03:01]

The ones who gave the crown[00:03:05]

Have been let down[00:03:08]

You try to make amends[00:03:10]

Without defending[00:03:17]

Perhaps pretending[00:03:21]

You never saw the eyes[00:03:25]

Of grown men of twenty five[00:03:29]

That followed as you walked[00:03:33]

And asked for autographs[00:03:36]

Or kissed you on the cheek[00:03:38]

And you never could believe[00:03:43]

They really loved you[00:03:45]

Some make it when they're old[00:03:50]

Perhaps they have a soul[00:03:57]

They're not afraid to bare[00:03:59]

Or perhaps there's nothing there[00:04:06]

Stars they come and go[00:04:15]

They come fast they come slow[00:04:20]

They go like the last light[00:04:24]

Of the sun all in a blaze[00:04:27]

And all you see is glory[00:04:34]

But those who've seen it all[00:04:41]

They live their lives[00:04:46]

In sad cafes and music halls[00:04:48]

We always have a story[00:04:57]

Some women have a body[00:05:06]

Men will want to see[00:05:09]

So they put it on display[00:05:13]

Some people play a fine guitar[00:05:17]

I could listen to them[00:05:23]

Play all day[00:05:25]

Some ladies really[00:05:30]

Move across a stage[00:05:32]

And gee they sure can dance[00:05:36]

I guess I could learn how[00:05:42]

If I have it half a chance[00:05:47]

But I always feel so funny[00:05:53]

When my body tries to soar[00:05:58]

And I seem to always worry[00:06:04]

About missing the next chord[00:06:07]

I guess there isn't anything[00:06:11]

To put up on display[00:06:16]

Except the tunes[00:06:21]

And whatever else I say[00:06:27]

Anyway that isn't really[00:06:33]

What I meant to say[00:06:38]

I meant to tell a story[00:06:42]

I live from day to day[00:06:47]

Stars they come and go[00:06:54]

They come fast they come slow[00:06:59]

They go like the last light[00:07:03]

Of the sun all in a blaze[00:07:06]

And all you see is glory[00:07:13]

But those who've seen it all[00:07:21]

They live their lives[00:07:28]

In sad cafes and music halls[00:07:30]

We always have a story[00:07:39]

So if you don't lose patience[00:07:45]

With my fumbling around[00:07:49]

I'll come up singing for you[00:07:56]

Even when I'm down[00:08:02]
