Stars (Live at Montreux)

Stars, they come and go, they come fast or slow
 They go like the last light of the sun, all in a blaze
 All you see is glory
 But it gets lonely there when there's no one here to share
 You can shake it away, if you hear a story
 ♪
 People lust for fame like athletes in a game
 ♪
 We break their collarbones and come up swinging
 ♪
 Some of them are downed
 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 world has done its dirty job
 And later on someone will say
 You've had your day, now you must make way
 ♪
 But you never know the pain of using a name you never owned
 Years forgetting what you know too well
 You who gave the crown have been let down
 You try to make amends without defending
 ♪
 Pretending you never saw the eyes of young men in twenty-five
 ♪
 Who follow as you walk and ask for autographs
 Kissed you on the cheek
 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
 ♪
 Perhaps there's nothing there
 ♪
 And anyway that's not what i meant to say
 I meant to tell about a story
 Since we all have stories
 But I can't remmeber it anyway
 So I'll tell about the moon that is in the United States today
 Permiating even Switzerland
 It goes
 ♪
 But I'll continue anyway until I get it together
 ♪
 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
 ♪
 But anyway, I'm trying to tell my story
 Janis Ian told it very well
 Janice Joplin told it even better
 Billie Holiday even told it even better
 We always, we always, we always have a story
 ♪
 The latest story that I know is the one that I'm supposed to go out with
 And the latest story that I know is the one that I'm supposed to go out with
 And the latest story that I know is the one that I'm supposed to go out with
 And the latest story that I know is the one that I'm supposed to go out with
