[00:00:00] Stars (Live at the University Theater) - Janis Ian

[00:00:02] Written by：Janis Ian

[00:00:14] I was never one for singing

[00:00:20] What I really feel

[00:00:29] Except tonight I'm bringing

[00:00:35] Everything I know that's real

[00:00:43] Stars they come and go

[00:00:48] They come fast or slow

[00:00:52] They go like the last light

[00:00:54] Of the sun all in a blaze

[00:01:02] And all you see is glory

[00:01:10] But it gets lonely there

[00:01:14] When there's no one here to share

[00:01:21] We can shake it away

[00:01:26] If you'll hear a story

[00:01:37] People lust for fame

[00:01:40] Like athletes in a game

[00:01:44] We break our collarbones

[00:01:47] And come up swinging

[00:01:50] Some of us are downed

[00:01:53] Some of us are crowned

[00:01:57] And some are lost

[00:01:59] And never found

[00:02:02] But most have seen it all

[00:02:07] They live their lives in

[00:02:09] Sad cafes and music halls

[00:02:18] They always have a story

[00:02:26] Some make it when they're young

[00:02:30] Before the world has

[00:02:31] Done its dirty job

[00:02:35] And later on someone will say

[00:02:38] You've had your day

[00:02:41] You must make way

[00:02:47] But they'll never know the pain

[00:02:52] Of living with a name you never owned

[00:02:58] Or the many years forgetting

[00:03:01] What you know too well

[00:03:05] The ones who gave the crown

[00:03:08] Have been let down

[00:03:10] You try to make amends

[00:03:17] Without defending

[00:03:21] Perhaps pretending

[00:03:25] You never saw the eyes

[00:03:29] Of grown men of twenty five

[00:03:33] That followed as you walked

[00:03:36] And asked for autographs

[00:03:38] Or kissed you on the cheek

[00:03:43] And you never could believe

[00:03:45] They really loved you

[00:03:50] Some make it when they're old

[00:03:57] Perhaps they have a soul

[00:03:59] They're not afraid to bare

[00:04:06] Or perhaps there's nothing there

[00:04:15] Stars they come and go

[00:04:20] They come fast they come slow

[00:04:24] They go like the last light

[00:04:27] Of the sun all in a blaze

[00:04:34] And all you see is glory

[00:04:41] But those who've seen it all

[00:04:46] They live their lives

[00:04:48] In sad cafes and music halls

[00:04:57] We always have a story

[00:05:06] Some women have a body

[00:05:09] Men will want to see

[00:05:13] So they put it on display

[00:05:17] Some people play a fine guitar

[00:05:23] I could listen to them

[00:05:25] Play all day

[00:05:30] Some ladies really

[00:05:32] Move across a stage

[00:05:36] And gee they sure can dance

[00:05:42] I guess I could learn how

[00:05:47] If I have it half a chance

[00:05:53] But I always feel so funny

[00:05:58] When my body tries to soar

[00:06:04] And I seem to always worry

[00:06:07] About missing the next chord

[00:06:11] I guess there isn't anything

[00:06:16] To put up on display

[00:06:21] Except the tunes

[00:06:27] And whatever else I say

[00:06:33] Anyway that isn't really

[00:06:38] What I meant to say

[00:06:42] I meant to tell a story

[00:06:47] I live from day to day

[00:06:54] Stars they come and go

[00:06:59] They come fast they come slow

[00:07:03] They go like the last light

[00:07:06] Of the sun all in a blaze

[00:07:13] And all you see is glory

[00:07:21] But those who've seen it all

[00:07:28] They live their lives

[00:07:30] In sad cafes and music halls

[00:07:39] We always have a story

[00:07:45] So if you don't lose patience

[00:07:49] With my fumbling around

[00:07:56] I'll come up singing for you

[00:08:02] Even when I'm down
