Who said something about wishing on stars
They're so far from where we are they can't be listening
They're just late-night sky-show, fire-breathing zeros
Pulling us around until they're nothing but black holes
And dark matter is our destination
Here we are lover in a bad situation
No, we can't get out of the down and out
And blue is a mood that really got a hold on
No half-filled-up cup, optimistic jive talk
Sing-along, new-age, buttercup, comma-comma
Can explain in refrain 'bout fire and rain
And here we are lover in a bad situation again
That ain't hope, at the end of the rope
Wait a minute, wait a minute, nah, forget about it
There is no remedy, no sure cure
Go ahead, lover, and cry a little longer
Can't get no worse is a dishonest verse
It can, understand, trouble is a puddle
That starts so subtle like a vat of cement
It gets harder and it won't relent
Now you're stuck in the middle, I am too
Here we are lover and we can't muddle through
Something else about luck – it's a risky bet
There's more to lose the better it gets
Weren't we up before we landed so low
I don't know, I don't know but I think so, lover
Now we wallow in sorrow and pain
Here we are lover in a sad situation again
That ain't hope, at the end of the rope
Wait a minute, wait a minute, nah, forget about it
There is no remedy, no sure cure
So go ahead, lover, and cry a little more
You can cry now
It's so sad its beautiful
It hurts so much it's sweet
I mean, look at you looking like a warrior
Look at me looking the whole big bang
But it's good to know, don't you know, don't you know
We both can take the heat
