[Verse 1]
Naked under bedclothes
Fallen to the floor
Hot anticipation
Causes slumber to withdraw
Are you going out tonight?
Will the evening be alright or more?
[Chorus]
The stars are going out
The stars are going out
We used to be so hot
A million kilowatt or more
[Verse 2]
(Sifting through the)
(Sifting through the)
(Sifting through the)
(Sifting through the)
Sifting through the wreckage

Throwing out a trail of need or more
[Verse 3]
I never called you baby
Made the necessary motion
Swallowed pride for peace of mind
While swimming in your ocean
I always had to fit
Or be aware of it or more
[Chorus]
The stars are going out
The stars are going out
We used to be so tough
But just not tough enough
That's all
The stars are going out
The stars are going out
We used to be so bad
But that was just a fad
That's all
The stars are going out
The stars are going out
The stars are going out
The stars are going out
We used to be so bright
But now we shake with fright
That's all
The stars are going out
The stars are going out
We used to be so bad
But that was just a fad
That's all
The stars are going out
The stars are going out
We used to be so tough
But just not tough enough
That's all
