Dark Stars

I looked into your eyes for the last time

The story half-written

Never to be read

And as we close the book

My fingers burned with black set

While the song, it slowly played

And the dark stars in your eyes

Circle my heart with their beautiful lights

They kept me coming back to you

And as the sun went down

We smoked a wooden cigarette

You blew rings

Just like the hoops you dragged me through

Though your kisses were sweet

I said goodbye, I said goodbye

The way you played this game

Was running me dry, running me dry, oh

Running me dry

You felt like coming home

To a place I'd forgotten

Made of sweet songs

And your hands upon my head

But there was no light that had shone

The door was locked

Secrets unspoken of ghosts

That still linger in your bed

(Ooh) though your kisses were sweet

I said goodbye (ooh), I said goodbye

(Ooh) the way you played this game

Was running me dry (ooh), running me dry

(Ooh) this was supposed to be a love song

But now, the words (ooh) you'll never know

(Ooh) and we were running in circles

The only way to save (ooh) us was to let go, oh

Was to let go

And if we meet again

I'll roll up all your kisses in a cigarette

And blow smoke rings at the moon
