In a world where celestial bodies mirror our earthly idols, Bowie crafts a haunting tableau of fame and its shadows. The stars, both cosmic and celebrity, are ever-watchful entities—glimmering specters that never sleep. They peer through tinted windows, their radiant smiles hiding the turmoil within. 🌟 These luminaries, trapped in their own brilliance, reflect our primitive desires and insecurities. As they burn brightly, their jealousy spills over, binding them together in an eternal dance of envy and admiration. Bowie’s lyrics weave a narrative of longing for immortality amidst the fleeting nature of stardom. Even as these icons falter—broke, shamed, or scared—we cling to the hope that they might live forever. In this nocturnal reverie, we see ourselves reflected in their eyes, tossing and turning under the same night sky where the stars are always out tonight.
The Stars (Are Out Tonight)
Lyrics
Stars are never sleeping
Dead ones and the living
We live closer to the earth
Never to the heavens
The stars are never far away
Stars are out tonight
They watch us from behind their shades
Brigitte, Jack and Kate and Brad
From behind their tinted window stretch
Gleaming like blackened sunshine
Stars are never sleeping
Dead ones and the living
Waiting for the first move
Satyrs and their child wives
Waiting for the last move
Soaking up our primitive world
Stars are never sleeping
Dead ones and the living
Their jealousy's spilling down
The stars must stick together
We will never be rid of these stars
But I hope they live forever
And they know just what we do
That we toss and turn at night
They're waiting to make their moves
For the stars are out tonight
Here they are upon the stairs
Sexless and unaroused
They are the stars, they're dying for you
But I hope they live forever
They burn you with their radiant smiles
Trap you with their beautiful eyes
They're broke and shamed or drunk or scared
But I hope they live forever
Their jealousy's spilling down
The stars must stick together
We will never be rid of these stars
But I hope they live forever
And they know just what we do
That we toss and turn at night
They're waiting to make their moves on us
But the stars are out tonight
The stars are out tonight
The stars are out tonight
