And stripes on fire, these hands are tired. I¡¯m making plans to drink away all these words I can¡¯t escape. I have to try to make you stay. Because I¡¯m alone, stay with me this time. Because what I¡¯m feeling inside, I¡¯m troubled or maybe I¡¯m blind, but I just can¡¯t see how this is helping me. The stars are burning bright like the light that lights your eyes. Why couldn¡¯t I see that you were leaving? Because I¡¯m alone, I need someone to be my friend. But I can¡¯t take anyone who can¡¯t stay until the end. And the stars are burning bright, the smoke is rising high, the stripes are on the street, from the mountain to the sea. Because friend you¡¯ve done me wrong, left the spoils to the strong and preyed upon the weak, there¡¯s an end to you and me. Because a friend can understand that there¡¯s no trust to be had. You¡¯re just bouncing on your strings, a puppet on a screen. I¡¯m not sure when you left, but it started with that theft, it seems it¡¯s been so long.
