Oooh, oooh, oooh Star, beginning to fade Lined from the light that you had all those years Now you live in the shade Oh, oh lonely years Spending up there with the people Who care for your problems or fears Oooh, oooh, oooh Feel, feel that they've lied The whip that you get the Cause of regret and the death that's inside So now, beginning to see The world moves the same At the turn of the man and his own misery And I need to share it out I cannot bear it all The weight is coming down on me Shout (shout), with moments to steal Makes you a man full of imperfect thought But at least you'll be real Come home, going home free For useless is time that's spent all alone So you're coming with me And I need to share it out I cannot bear it all The weight is coming down on me And you, you need to understand That I need a helping hand Like atlas holding up the earth Star beginning to fade
