The Stars Are Going Out - The Human League

Naked under bedclothes.

Fallen to the floor.

Hot

Anticipation.

Causes slumber to withdraw.

Are you going

Out tonight?

Will the evening be alright or more?

The stars are going out.

The stars are going out.

We used

To be so hot.

A million kilowatt or more

Sifting through the wreckage.

At a hundred miles an hour

Searching for a night club.

A source of worship power

Grabbing worn out cast off lovers.

Throwing out a trail of

Need or more.

I never called you baby.

Made the necessary

Motion.

Swallowed pride for peace of mind.

While

Swimming in your ocean.

I always had to fit.

Or be aware of

It or more

The stars are going out.

The stars are going out.

We used

To be so tough.

But just not tough enough that’s all

The stars are going out.

The stars are going out.

We used

To be so bad.

But that was just a fad that’s all

The stars are going out.

The stars are going out

The stars are going out.

The stars are going out.

We used

To be so bright.

But now we shake with fright that’s all

The stars are going out.

The stars are going out.

We used

To be so bad.

But that was just a fad that’s all

The stars are going out.

The stars are going out.

We used

To be so tough.

But just not tough enough that’s all
