Black Holes In The Sky

(album: Phoenix - 1975)

Behold, black holes in the sky
I'm told, a shining star died inside
Behold, black holes in the sky
I'm told, a shining star turned itself inside

Black holes in the sky
May disappear and not be recognized
You'd better keep your eyes to the wind
Because the truth might sound
And never be heard again
And stars fall from the sky all the time
They're only quasars
Dying stars much too far to see
They're only quasars
Dying stars much like you and me

Behold, black holes in the sky
I'm told, a shining star lives inside
Behold, black holes in the sky
I'm told, a shining star lives inside

Listen to me, won't you listen to me, please
Even if I'm sounding strange
And my rhetoric is uneased
There's so much more than I can tell
And what I've said is but a drop in the well
Because nobody knows what's up in the sky
They're only quasars
Dying stars much too far to see
They're only quasars
Dying stars just like you and me

Behold, black holes in the sky
I'm told, a shining star lives inside
Behold, black holes in the sky
I'm told, a shining star lives inside
