One By One

Now my dead end street
 Is a cul-de-sac
 For every acre gone
 There's five new Cadillacs
 Well I know I'm too young
 To get so damn strung out by all that
 But all our small-town stores
 Have got new big-name signs
 And the sky gets tangled
 In new telephone lines
 I dial three more numbers
 For the same old friends of mine
 Don't go changing on me
 Don't go rearranging
 Don't go changing on me now
 How long
 Till every single star is gone?
 One by one
 They leave you when your day is done
 It's always pop-star stories
 On my TV screen
 Who slept with who and where
 And why it wasn't what it seemed
 I listened all day
 And still the radio played
 The same three things
 Don't go changing on me
 Don't go rearranging
 Don't go changing on me now
 How long
 Till every single star is gone
 One by one
 They leave you when your day is done
 Wait!
 Hold up the fading sky
 It's hard to feel real
 With all this light in your eyes
 Wait!
 Save a fading star
 One by one
 I wonder where they are
 How long
 Till every single star is gone?
 One by one
 They leave you when your day is done
 One by one
 They leave you when your day is done
 One by one
 They leave you when your day is done.
