The Stars (Are Out Tonight) [2025 Remaster]

by David Bowie

Lyrics : David Bowie
Music : David Bowie
Producer : David Bowie
Stars are never sleeping
Dead ones and the living
We live closer to the earth
Never to the heavens
The stars are never far away
Stars are out tonight
They watch us from behind their shades
Brigitte, Jack, and Kate, and Brad
From behind their tinted-window stretch
Gleaming like blackened sunshine
Stars are never sleeping
Dead ones and the living
Waiting for the first move
Satyrs and their child wives
Waiting for the last move
Soaking up our primitive world
Stars are never sleeping
Dead ones and the living
Their jealousy's spilling down
The stars must stick together
We will never be rid of these stars
But I hope they live forever
And they know just what we do
That we toss and turn at night
They're waiting to make their moves
For the stars are out tonight
(Tonight, tonight)
Here they are upon the stairs
Sexless and unaroused
They are the stars, they're dyin' for you
But I hope they live forever
They burn you with their radiant smiles
And trap you with their beautiful eyes
They're broke and shamed or drunk or scared
But I hope they live forever
Their jealousy's spilling down
But stars must stick together
We will never be rid of these stars
But I hope they live forever
And they know just what we do
That we toss and turn at night
They're waiting to make their moves on us
The stars are out tonight
Yeah (Tonight, tonight)
The stars are out tonight
The stars are out tonight
Yeah
