Morning Star

You're the morning star
You rise in the mornin'
You're the bringer of dawn
You bring the dawn
You fade into blue skies
Ah ah ah
By noon you're gone
By noon you're gone

You're the evening star
Come back in the evenin'
You fall back to Earth
You fall to Earth
Beneath the horizon
Ah ah ah
There's an underworld
There's an underworld

There once was a prophet who scorned the king of Babylon
He drew a bleak comparison between his highness and the star
And such was the parable innocent and terrible
It spread wings and laid a nest for the birth of Lucifer

You're not even a star
No no not really
We got our data from the probes
Oh yes we did
You're the planet Venus
Ah ah ah
Just like every child knows
I've know since I's a kid

You don't descend into hell
No no not really
Nor rebel among the stars
Oh no you don't
You're on a planetary orbit
Ah ah ah
A little different from ours
And highly visible at that

Yet Lucifer lurks in the twilight of the heart
With his never-finished works in the very blackest of the arts
He's still vanquished by the sun
You just say get thee behind me fallen one
No one cares where you were born
No one cares where you were born
