Lyrics
Naked under bedclothes. Fallen to the floor
Hot anticipation causes slumber to withdraw
Are you going out tonight? Will the evening be alright or more?
(The stars are going out)
(The stars are going out)
We used to be so hot, a million kilowatt or more
(Sifting through the, sifting through the, sifting through the)
(Sifting through the), sifting through the wreckage at a hundred miles an hour
Searching for a night club
A source of worship power, grabbing worn out cast off lovers
Throwing out a trail of need or more
I never called you baby, made the necessary motion
Swallowed pride for peace of mind while swimming in your ocean
I always had to fit or be aware of it or more
(The stars are going out)
(The stars are going out)
Oh, we used to be so tough but just not tough enough, that's all
(The stars are going out)
(The stars are going out)
Oh, we used to be so bad but that was just a fad, that's all
(The stars are going out)
(The stars are going out)
(The stars are going out)
(The stars are going out)
We used to shine so bright but now we shake with fright, that's all
(The stars are going out)
(The stars are going out)
Oh, we used to be so bad but that was just a fad, that's all
(The stars are going out)
(The stars are going out)
Oh, we used to be so tough but just not tough enough, that's all
(The stars are going out)
(The stars are going out)
Oh, we used to be so bad
