John Stewart
Collapsing Star
With your hollow alcoholic eyes
And your sad sense of spent allure
And how the better half of you will hide
Behind all the small things you never were
You're like a starlet of the silver screen
Who's burdened by her beauty
And by everything it's gonna mean for us
When it goes away
Now that our collapsing star
Shines a little less bright
Now that our collapsing star
Gives off a little less light
I can feel you in the dark tonight
You're all right, You're all right
Now you holler at the falling skies
But you still bring this child to life
We've gotten older and we're none more wise
But you still bring this child to life
You know I promised you I'd care about
Making sure that we can do the things
You were never allowed to do
In your younger days
Now that our collapsing star
Shines a little less bright
Now that our collapsing star
Gives off a little less light
I can feel you in the dark tonight
You're all right, You're all right
Now that our collapsing star
Shines a little less bright
Now that our collapsing star
Gives off a little less light
I can feel you in the dark tonight
You're all right, You're all right
You're all right, You're all right
You're all right, You're all right
You're all right, You're all right
You're all right, You're all right
