[Verse 1]
People tend to talk, the FBI eyein' ya out
These days you just don’t know, hidden cameras in the phones
Believe in what you like, electric hypnotize
Playing dirty tricks upon your eyes

[Chorus 1]
Don’t let it get you down
Don’t let it change your mind
We’re gonna catch that train
We’re gonna take a ride
We’ll find a one-horse town
Beyond the distant rise
Where time keeps on
Stars go by

[Verse 2]
People tend to fight in school yards and the like
Tiny broken fists, atom bomb abyss
Ain’t no one seems to know just how far this all goes
'Fore it’s dark in troubled towns out on the road

[Chorus 2]
Don’t let it get you down
Don’t pay ‘em any mind
They built a great big wall
Good thing you learned to fly
We’ll send you right across
Go tell the other side
Time keeps on
Stars go by

[Verse 3]
People tend to see ghosts of you and me
Drifting through the fog, rabbits chasing dogs
Pretending not to care, like there’s nothing really there
We were only apparitions in the air

Chorus 3:
Don’t let it bring you down
Don’t let ‘em see you cry
Hop on a Greyhound bus
Go on dry your eyes
Into the outstretched arms
Under the mission lights
Time keeps on
Stars go by
Time keeps on
Stars go by
Their time keeps on
Stars go by
