The Stars (Are Out Tonight) Lyrics - David Bowie

1 Stars are never sleeping

2 Dead ones and the living

3 We live closer to the earth

4 Nearer to the heavens

5 The stars are never far away

6 Stars are out tonight

7 They watch us from behind their shades

8 Brigitte, Jack and Kate and Brad

9 From behind their tinted window stretch

10 Gleaming like blackened sunshine

11 Stars are never sleeping

12 Dead ones and the living

13 Waiting for the first move

14 Satyrs and their child wives

15 Waiting for the last move

16 Soaking up our primitive world

17 Stars are never sleeping

18 Dead ones and the living

19 Their jealousy's spilling down

20 The stars must stick together

21 We will never be rid of these stars

22 But I hope they live forever

23 And they know just what we do

24 That we toss and turn at night

25 They're waiting to make their moves

26 For the stars are out tonight

27 Here they are upon the stairs

28 Sexless and unaroused

29 They are the stars, they're dying for you

30 But I hope they live forever

31 They burn you with their radiant smiles

32 And trap you with their beautiful eyes

33 They're broke and shamed or drunk or scared

34 But I hope they live forever

35 Their jealousy's spilling down

36 The stars must stick together

37 We will never be rid of these stars

38 But I hope they live forever

39 And they know just what we do

40 That we toss and turn at night

41 They're waiting to make their moves on us

42 The stars are out tonight, yeah

43 The stars are out tonight

44 The stars are out tonight, yeah
