Verse 1

Did you crack the sky wide open
BE
To find what was in-side
BE
Is it not what you were hoping
BE
And not a case of do or die
Refrain 1
=========
EF#BE
Did you cross the bridgeless gulf of chatter
EF#BE
Did you say just one thing that mattered
EF#BE
Did you skate the cold water of reason
EF#BE
Make figure eights on the logic of its reason
EF#BE
Even the stars die
BE
Verse 2
=======
BE
In the end what do things matter
BE
God knows I'm not un-kind
BE
I saw it sparkle and then sh-atter
BE
God knows I've half a mind
Refrain 2

Even the stars die
