Stargazer Lyrics

[Drum Solo]

[Verse 1]
High noon, oh I'd sell my soul for water
Nine years worth of breakin' my back
There's no sun in the shadow of the wizard
See how he glides, why he's lighter than air?

[Refrain]
Oh, I see his face

[Pre-Chorus]
Where is your star?
Is it far, is it far, is it far?
When do we leave?
I believe, yes, I believe

[Chorus]
In the heat and the rain
With whips and chains
To see him fly
So many died
We build a tower of stone
With our flesh and bone
Just to see him fly
But don't know why
Now where do we go?

[Verse 2]
Hot wind, moving fast across the desert
We feel that our time has arrived
The world spins, while we put his dream together
A tower of stone to take him straight to the sky

[Refrain]
Oh, I see his face

[Pre-Chorus]
Where is your star?
Is it far, is it far, far?
When do we leave?
Hey, I believe, I believe

[Chorus]
In the heat and the rain
With whips and chains
Just to see him fly
Too many died
We build a tower of stone
With our flesh and bone
To see him fly
But we don't know why
Ooh, now where do we go

[Instrumental Break/Guitar Solo 03:30-05:13]

[Verse 3]
All eyes see the figure of the wizard
As he climbs to the top of the world
No sound, as he falls instead of rising
Time standing still, then there's blood on the sand

[Refrain]
Oh, I see his face

[Pre-Chorus]
Where was your star?
Was it far, was it far?
When did we leave?
We believed, we believed, we believed

[Chorus]
In heat and rain
With whips and chains
To see him fly
So many died
We built a tower of stone
With our flesh and bone
To see him fly

[Outro]
But why
In all the rain
With all the chains
Did so many die
Just to see him fly
Look at my flesh and bone
Now, look, look, look, look
Look at his tower of stone
I see a rainbow rising
Look there, on the horizon
And I'm coming home, I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Time is standing still
He gave me back my will
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Going home
I'm going home
My eyes are bleeding
And my heart is leaving here
The place I've known
But it's not home
Ooh
Take me back
He gave me back my will
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Going home
I'm going home
My eyes are bleeding
And my heart is leaving here
The place I've known
But it's not home
Ooh
Take me back, take me back
Back to my home ooh, ooh, ooh
