Your eyes are penetrating
They seem so tired and vacant
Excess in moderation
You're such a pretty mess
You make up different faces
One for each new occasion
And when the fire burns out
Others will fade away
Dying star dying star

Outside the sky is bleeding
The sun is overheating
There's meltdown in the city
It's all the same to me
Turn on your television
Buy yourself some forgiveness
Turn to the seven sisters
They're looking after you
Dying star dying star

If you don't really need them
Why didn't you ever leave this
Too easy to believe in
That's just the way it is
You're comin' up the hard way
Back broke your feet are hurting
Fourteen more years are wasted
Like the west memphis three
Dying star dying star
