Lyrics
I want to go look at the stars
But the light's too bright to see them where we are
The highway's just a mile away
And those lamps burn all night long
The light of a distant sun would never be that strong
Sodium vapor gives off an awful glare
You'd never even know the stars were there
No, you'd never even know the stars were there
I want to go swim in the sea
But the red tide is bloomin'
That's not good for folks like me
Fertilizer runs off of the golf courses and lawns
Algae reproduces 'til the oxygen is gone
Fish die by the million and they pile up on the beach
So now the ocean's out of reach
So now the ocean's out of reach
Maybe there'll be silence in the grave
When my time is over and they file me away
Maybe there'll be silence in the grave
I want to find my way home
But scramblin' for rent's the closest thing I've ever known
Spend the day stooped to scrape a dime up off the street
No matter what I do, can't get my roots through this concrete
All this hard travelin' to wind up where I'm at
So much toil to make the rich man fat
So much toil to make the rich man fat
I want to go look at the stars
But the light's too bright outside this bar
But I can still remember where they are
