The Starlings: Music & Lyrics

Take that gold dust down off the shelf
Sprinkle gold dust on me
I’m a puppet now, move my hands, yes and move my head
Back and forth again

I see you crying but not for me
That silent water is breaking free
Yes, but don’t look down, try to keep it safe
All your heart is a worry for the world to see

Don’t look now there’s a fair-weather friend
Come to take you by the hand down that happy road again
Another week, another mistake, well I know what you’re thinking
But we don’t think it’s so

Oooooo….

The earth is there to bury me
The fire’s there and it’s burning
Oh, but the water cools my head and heart
And the midnight air glimmers in the stars

Don’t look now there’s a fair-weather friend
Come to take you by the hand down that happy road again
Another week another mistake, well I know what you’re thinking
But we don’t think it’s so

Take that gold dust down off the shelf
Sprinkle gold dust on me
I’m a puppet now, move my hands, yes and move my head
Back and forth again
