Staring at the Stars

Tobacco stains our yellow teeth And all our fingers and underneath Our fingernails, that clasp on sheets As we try desperately to sleep Hearts are sad and eyes are tired And all this Red Bull keeps us wired Gives us wings It gives us rings around our eyes We put three sugars in our tea Sit to watch too much day time TV And laugh at mums Who don't know who the father is And all our girlfriends are long gone We watch too much internet porn Who needs love When you've got silicone and strap ons And beer bloats our spoiled guts And shit jobs keep us in ruts And keep us eying up The what's and ifs and buts and maybes And falling over in the street Is just a part of every week And we lie drunkenly Just staring at the stars Remember when they were in reach And all the teachers used to teach You can do anything If you put your mind to it We put our minds to it all But disappointment crashed the ball We could have done anything But we just never quite knew it So tie your scarf on tight It's to be a cold night Tie your scarf on tight It's to be a cold night And tie your scarf on tight It's to be a cold night And tie your scarf on tight It's to be a cold night Oh oh, so tie your scarf on tight It's to be a cold night And tie your scarf on tight It's to be a cold night --- Staring at the Stars - Passenger
