Stars - Simply Red

It's midnight at a liquor store in Texas Closing time; another day is done When a boy walks in the door and points a pistol He can't find a job, but Lord, he's found a gun He pulls it off with no trace of confrontation Then he lets the old man run out in the street Even though he knows they'll come with guns a-blazin' Already he can feel a great relief Oh, how many travelers get weary Bearing both their burdens and their scars? Don't you think they'd love to start all over And fly like eagles out among the stars? He pictured the arrival of the cruisers Sees that old familiar anger in their eyes He knows that when they're shootin' at this loser They'll be aiming at the demons in their lives Oh, how many travelers get weary Bearing both their burdens and their scars? Don't you think they'd love to start all over And fly like eagles out among the stars? The evening news carried all the details He dies in every living room in town And in his own a bottle is thrown in anger And his father cries, "We'll never live this down!" Oh, how many travelers get weary Bearing both their burdens and their scars Don't you think they'd love to start all over And fly like eagles out among the stars? And fly like eagles out among the stars?

To leave from this tale follow closely ahead Prepare to exist by the living & dead Too slow or too kind or too wary of those too at ease Past all the buried impressions of then Sullen drawn eyes and expressions to mend Continued through mirrors left broken to sing and be heard Through when it seems all the senses are lost to absurd So the part where we are Trapped in active depart In the fate of the stars No, not one who we are No control; pumping heart Button pressed; mind in art Mind control Mind restart To leave from the present with no source of sound They laugh because silence is never around Ignored and forgotten the past may continue to breathe Feared not a rest by this desolate friend Whose patience revealed what intent comes to send With a stare at a hole in the world comes a lust to be high Above all the dark nested clouds that keep guard of the sky So the part where we are Trapped in active depart In the fate of the stars No, not one who we are No control; pumping heart Button pressed; mind in art Mind control Mind restart Step onto the ferris wheel Round for day & night Lost in what's forever more Complacent in its reasons for Give and take Sleep and wake and Pray for day and might to come Again we see there's certainty in What we feel and what we've heard Again we see there's certainty in Expectations all the same
