Out Among the Stars |
| It’s midnight at a liquor store in Texas |
| Beneath the neon, close up’s just begun |
| When a boy walks in the door and points a pistol |
| He can’t find a job but man, he’s found a gun |
| But a change of heart before there’s confrontation |
| Lets the old man live and run out in the street |
| But he knows that soon they’ll come with guns a blazing |
| And already he can feel a great relief |
| Oh, how many travelers get weary |
| Bearing both their burdens and their scars? |
| Don’t you think they’d love to stop complaining |
| And fly like eagles, out among the stars? |
| He pictures the arrival of the cruisers |
| Sees that old familiar anger in their eyes |
| He knows that when they’re shooting at this loser |
| They’ll be aiming at the demons in their lives |
| Oh, how many travelers get weary |
| Bearing both their burdens and their scars? |
| Don’t you think they’d love to stop complaining |
| And fly like eagles, out among the stars? |
| The evening news, it carries all the details |
| He dies in every living room in town |
| And in his home, a bottle’s thrown in anger |
| And his father cries, «We'll never live this down» |
| Oh, how many travelers get weary |
| Bearing both their burdens and their scars? |
| Don’t you think they’d love to stop complaining |
| And fly like eagles out among the stars |
| Oh, oh, and fly like eagles out among the stars? |
