Stars - Remastered

I was never one for singing
 what I really feel
 Except tonight, I'm bringing
 everything I know that's real
 Stars, they come and go
 They come fast or slow
 They go like the last light
 of the sun, all in a blaze
 and all you see is glory
 But it gets lonely there
 when there's no one here to share
 We can shake it away
 if you'll hear a story
 People lust for fame
 Like athletes in a game
 we break our collarbones
 and come up swinging
 Some of us are downed
 Some of us are crowned
 and some are lost
 and never found
 But most have seen it all
 They live their lives in
 sad cafes and music halls
 They always have a story
 Some make it when they're young
 before the world has
 done its dirty job
 and later on, someone will say
 "You've had your day
 You must make way"
 But they'll never know the pain
 of living with a name you never owned
 or the many years forgetting
 what you know too well
 The ones who gave the crown
 have been let down
 You try to make amends
 without defending
 Perhaps pretending
 you never saw the eyes
 of grown men of twenty five
 that followed as you walked
 and asked for autographs
 or kissed you on the cheek
 and you never could believe
 they really loved you
 Some make it when they're old
 (Perhaps they have a soul
 they're not afraid to bare
 Or perhaps there's nothing there)
 Some women have a body
 men will want to see,
 so they put it on display
 Some people play a fine guitar
 I could listen to them
 play all day
 Some ladies really
 move across a stage
 and gee, they sure can dance
 I guess I could learn how
 if I have it half a chance
 but I always feel so funny
 when my body tries to soar
 and I seem to always worry
 about missing the next chord
 I guess there isn't anything
 to put up on display
 except the tunes
 and whatever else I say
 Anyway, that isn't really
 what I meant to say
 I meant to tell a story
 I live from day to day
 Stars, they come and go
 They come fast or slow
 They go like the last light
 of the sun, all in a blaze
 and all you see is glory
 But those who've seen it all
 they live their lives
 in sad cafes and music halls
 we always have a story
 So if you don't lose patience
 with my fumbling around,
 I'll come up singing for you
 even when I'm down
