A canvas for a billion suns But our local hero shines them out by day Save for the winking of a Venus or Mars Even the stars sometimes fade to gray Sometimes the stars hide away
I see the bare moon raise its big bald head I see my friends play the fool I'll make my own way in the wide world Just know I don't want to wander too far Even the stars sometimes fade to gray Sometimes the stars hide away
Some will call me all kinds of names Some will say I don't play the right kind of game I'll honestly leave when i know that it's time
Hear old Phoebe sing his only song This summer day is hovering Out the window of our traveling car Even the stars sometimes fade to gray Sometimes the stars hide away
