‘Stars’ is a reworked and revamped version of the song ‘Stars Above My Bed’ from the band’s 1997 debut EP, ‘Kiss Kiss Bang Bang’.
Compared to the 1997 original, there’s been a slight adjustment to the lyrics and arrangement of the song.
When I came down, there was no one left
It took my lashes while I held my breath
And the bee stings
And the deaf remain unaware
And I will see you there
I will be there
I can't believe
How you've been deceived
We will bash her
I will catch her
And I can't believe
How you've been deceived
By the time I came down, the epiphany was nailed across my face
And so I ask, "Whose terms are written on the sheets, man?
The puzzled and the bruised, right?"
Kill her, burn her
This!
Oh, this!
They say that temptation is a long cold dawn
And we just froze
And we just froze, right?
Burn her, kill her
I will see you there
I will be there
I can't believe
How you've been deceived
Don't you look good?
Divine infection, the bitter half to bad avengement
Your fucking picture
You better visit a blacker vision
Don't hold back
You're a veteran of guilt, emaciated
Don't hold back
You have a bigger vision, right?
And that's alright
Oh yeah, it's just talk, talk, talk
Just to make amends with the deaf
And I asked you, if they cut so deep and bruising?
Burn, burn, burn, burn
This!
And this is long as it's looking both sides of the grave
You played like lovers, right?
And you bear the weight, right?
Burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn
Is this a beating?
I don't want it
I don't want a beating
A beating
A beating
A beating
And I will see you there
I will be there
I can't believe
How you've been deceived
