Constellation Prize

Two stars fell out of the sky
Bounced of a cloud and landed in your eye
Now there's two stars right here in my arms tonight

Two cars went speeding by
A hair too fast to catch the rapture of the dragonfly
Now those two cars are parked outside bars tonight

You've got a Turkish umbrella over your head
And a fading lover in your bed
And a fleeting immortality balanced on the tip of your toe
I spent about eleven hours making love last night
This morning someone turned the flowers up a bit too bright
Yeah the world is grinning, my head is spinning
And my feet can't figure where they want me to go

Two stars fell out of the sky
It always hurts to watch a good thing die
Now those two stars are safe behind bars
Right here in my arms tonight

You've got a fading umbrella over your bed
And a Turkish lover in your head
A fleeting immortality balanced on the tip of your toe
I spent about thirty-seven hours making love last night
This morning someone turned the flowers up a bit too bright
Yeah the world is spinning, my head is grinning
And my feet can't figure where they want me to go

Two stars fell out of the sky
Rolled the dough, chopped the apples, started baking a pie
Now those two stars are in mason jars
I said those two stars are lighting cigars
Those two stars are just where they are
Right here in my arms tonight
