Stars - Janis Ian[00:00:00]

Written by：Janis Ian[00:00:00]

I was never one for singing[00:00:13]

What I really feel[00:00:18]

Except tonight I'm bringing[00:00:25]

Everything I know that's real[00:00:31]

Stars they come go[00:00:38]

They come fast or slow[00:00:43]

They go like the last light[00:00:46]

Of the sun all in a blaze[00:00:49]

And all you see is glory[00:00:54]

But it gets lonely there[00:01:02]

When there's no one here to share[00:01:05]

We can shake it away[00:01:10]

If you'll hear a story[00:01:15]

People lust for fame[00:01:25]

Like athletes in a game[00:01:28]

We break our collarbones[00:01:32]

And come up swinging[00:01:34]

Some of us are downed[00:01:36]

Some of us are crowned[00:01:39]

Some are lost[00:01:42]

Never found[00:01:44]

But most have seen it all[00:01:46]

They live their lives in[00:01:51]

Sad cafes and music halls[00:01:52]

They always come up singing[00:01:58]

Some make it when they're young[00:02:05]

Before the world has done it's dirty job[00:02:08]

And later on someone will say[00:02:13]

You've had your day now you must make way[00:02:15]

But they'll never know the pain of living with a name you never owned[00:02:23]

Or the many years forgetting what you know too well[00:02:32]

That the ones who gave the crown have been let down[00:02:39]

You try to make amends without defending[00:02:44]

Perhaps pretending you never saw the eyes[00:02:53]

Of grown men of twenty five[00:02:59]

Who all followed as you walked and asked for autographs[00:03:03]

Or kissed you on the cheek[00:03:07]

And you never could believe they really loved you[00:03:10]

Some make it when they're old[00:03:17]

Perhaps they have a soul they're not afraid to bare[00:03:22]

Or perhaps there's nothing there[00:03:29]

Stars they come and go they come fast they come slow[00:03:38]

They go like the last light of the sun all in a blaze[00:03:45]

And all you see is glory[00:03:54]

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

Live all their lives in sad cafes and music halls[00:04:04]

We always have a story[00:04:12]

Some women have a body men will want to see[00:04:20]

So they put it on display[00:04:26]

And some people play a fine guitar[00:04:29]

I can listen to them play all day[00:04:34]

Some ladies really move across a stage[00:04:40]

And gee they sure can dance[00:04:45]

But I guess I could learn how if I gave it half a chance[00:04:50]

But I always feel so funny when my body tries to soar[00:04:59]

And I seem to always worry about missing the next chord[00:05:06]

So I guess there isn't anything to put up on display[00:05:13]

Except the tunes and whatever else I say[00:05:20]

And anyway that isn't really what I meant to say[00:05:30]

I meant to tell a story and I live from day to day[00:05:38]

Stars they come and go they come fast they come slow[00:05:47]

They go like the last light of the sun all in a blaze[00:05:55]

And all you see is glory[00:06:04]

But those who've seen it all[00:06:10]

Live all their lives in sad cafes and music halls[00:06:15]

We always have a story[00:06:23]

So if you don't lose patience with my fumbling around[00:06:28]

I'll come up singing for you even when I'm down[00:06:37]
