i've never been to new york but i have been mugged
been stolen from while i saved up for a skyscraper love
i've never been to kansas but i've seen wild winds
been blown around been ripped up with no soft landing
light pollution has stolen the stars
venus and mars behind the headlights of cars
i've never seen the biggiest city on earth
but the density
electricity
near-sightedness is blinding me
light pollution has stolen the stars
venus and mars behind the headlights of cars
meteor showers straight ahead, scattering dreams over our beds
I miss the old dark nights of a thousand falling stars, stars, stars
looking for Orion above a glass tower,
the kids are leading picket lines to shut down the power
looking for Orion above a glass tower,
the kids are leading picket lines to shut down the power
meteor showers straight ahead, scattering dreams over our beds
I miss the old dark nights of a thousand falling stars, stars, stars
don’t stop counting them
stars stars stars
