Stars Out of My Eyes
Every Fourth of July
You ride the red, blue and white
Blinking lights of a flight
Streaming broad stripes
Over the horizon line
And by the diamonds of Orion's belt
And through the threads of the archers bow
You're rocketing across the cosmos
Watching TV in a cheap seat
Leaving me to get back home
Oh how will I ever get these stars
Out of my eyes for you?
How will I ever get these stars
Out of my eyes for you?
I keep you as a dream to pass the time
And forget
And down here on the ground
I am missing you, lonesome, in a crowd
Celebrating the wars
And the fats and the creams of our freedom
Sparks are dripping down the sky
Like dazzling dahlia petals
I'll try to decorate my darkness
With victory metals
But when the dust all settles,
Something in me just don't sit right
Oh how will I ever get these stars
Out of my eyes for you?
I keep you as a dream to fill my mind
And forget
Oh America the beaut
You're a brute!
Orchestrating parades for the liars (Lyres) and the loots (Lutes)
But I want more in my hand than candy
I want more in my head than a fantasy
Oh how will I ever get these stars
Out of my eyes for you?
I didn't get to hold you quite as tight as I like
Making heartbeat music through the night
And waking up with laughter
Fanfares for the morning after
The sweetest kind of love keeps bringing life back to life
But all I see are the blood red flags in the sky
For the reason we have gathered
And I'm tired of feeling torn up and tattered
They say that this country is for the strong and the brave
But I'm crying like a child over a spilled Milky Way
Leading you away
Oh how will I ever get these stars
Out of my eyes for you?
How will I ever get these stars
Out of my eyes for you?
I keep you as a dream to pass the time and
Forget
You ride the red, blue and white
Blinking lights of a flight
Streaming broad stripes
Over the horizon line
And by the diamonds of Orion's belt
And through the threads of the archers bow
You're rocketing across the cosmos
Watching TV in a cheap seat
Leaving me to get back home
Oh how will I ever get these stars
Out of my eyes for you?
How will I ever get these stars
Out of my eyes for you?
I keep you as a dream to pass the time
And forget
And down here on the ground
I am missing you, lonesome, in a crowd
Celebrating the wars
And the fats and the creams of our freedom
Sparks are dripping down the sky
Like dazzling dahlia petals
I'll try to decorate my darkness
With victory metals
But when the dust all settles,
Something in me just don't sit right
Oh how will I ever get these stars
Out of my eyes for you?
I keep you as a dream to fill my mind
And forget
Oh America the beaut
You're a brute!
Orchestrating parades for the liars (Lyres) and the loots (Lutes)
But I want more in my hand than candy
I want more in my head than a fantasy
Oh how will I ever get these stars
Out of my eyes for you?
I didn't get to hold you quite as tight as I like
Making heartbeat music through the night
And waking up with laughter
Fanfares for the morning after
The sweetest kind of love keeps bringing life back to life
But all I see are the blood red flags in the sky
For the reason we have gathered
And I'm tired of feeling torn up and tattered
They say that this country is for the strong and the brave
But I'm crying like a child over a spilled Milky Way
Leading you away
Oh how will I ever get these stars
Out of my eyes for you?
How will I ever get these stars
Out of my eyes for you?
I keep you as a dream to pass the time and
Forget
