Stars are Just Cement
Oh, Mama - I'm not afraid of dying
I've been wandering this desert seven years
Oh, Mama - again the sun is shining
Blistering this onion skin, drying up these oily tears
And everyday is more and more and more or less the same
You hope and pray for a spring reprieve but the seasons never came
You drive away - you head for home but there's no turnaround
What can you say - when stars are just cement in the ground?
Oh, Mama - I have a touch of fever
This science moves like leaded crystal through my veins
Oh, Mama - I tried my best to leave her
But I'm the slave who loves her chains
And everyday is more and more and more or less the same
You hope and pray for a spring reprieve but the seasons never came
You drive away - you head for home but there's no turnaround
What can you say - when stars are just cement in the ground?
And I'm sure I'm not alone
But there's no proof to be found
Like ocean waves crashing into stone
It'll wear you down
Oh, Mama - It looks like you've been crying
Don't you recognize the eyes behind this shell?
Oh, Mama - the truth is, I've been lying
I've wasted fortunes throwing pennies down a wishing well
And everyday is more and more and more or less the same
You hope and pray for a spring reprieve but the seasons never came
You drive away - you head for home but there's no turnaround
What can you say - when stars are just cement in the ground?
