Stars, False, Fading

(альбом: Olympic Girls - 2019)

You and I wondered, you and I chose
Stars and drones over UFOs
He comes in troubled, he says
Hello, can you get my books
From the basement store?

He's been scanning the heavens
For those flashes and specks
Now I'm prowling the aisles
I've got my real hard facts

What on earth matters as the darkness grows
Look and see the stars, false, fading
What on earth matters as the darkness grows
Here's hoping I never drift away from you

Headlights shimmering on the rainy supreme
Kids all lost in backseat dreams
I keep my eyes open to count the hanging gleams
Could they take us out of here in those flying machines?

There was a yearning in my faraway chaser
For me to unlearn my jaded behaviour
To feel the roar in the beam of a stranger
But I just sigh in the lift
Down to the basement store

What on earth matters as the darkness grows
Look and see the stars, false, fading
What on earth matters as the darkness grows
Here's hoping I never drift away from you
