Stargazers of the World United (A Love Song for Astronomers) Songtext

von Duke Special

I don't have enough friends who walk with waking stars
Whose hearts are really mine but whose minds live elsewhere
I don't know enough people who stay up at night
Who talk themselves in circles and never say they're right

Poised upon the edge of where I've never been
Strains of the old country like a requiem
The past pulls on our heels like it was gravity
A border guard with orders to show no mercy

How'm I gonna get myself to Heaven?
How'm I gonna get myself to Heaven?

Meet me by sedans above the cobbled street
They're under lunar lights that pulse the air-like strings
Speaking about our secrets unafraid to dream
Breathing on each others' hopes with paraffin

How'm I gonna get myself to Heaven?
How'm I gonna get myself to Heaven?

Cut the ropes that keep us tethered
Stand out on the beach together
Build the camp out in the desert
Stargazers of the world unite
Stargazers of the world unite

So climb up on the tallest building
Leave your baggage, bring your children
The sky is ours if we are willing
Stargazers of the world unite
Stargazers of the world unite

Woooh
Woooh
Woooh
Woooh

I wanna get to a good, good place
I wanna get to a good, good place
I wanna get to a good, good place
I wanna get to a good, good place

I wanna get to a good, good place
Stargazers...
I wanna get to a good, good place
Stargazers...
I wanna get to a good, good place
