Los tiempos
han cambiado y la nueva aristocracia ahora hace cine, viaja en limusina y
anuncia fabulosos perfumes en las revistas del corazón. Nosotros, el pueblo
llano, ya seamos clase media o clase baja perseguimos su vida y milagros a
través de ese enorme bazar en que se han convertido los medios de comunicación.
Capítulo a capítulo, los amamos y los odiamos a partes iguales, no podemos
vivir sin nuestra ración diaria de escándalo para alimentar nuestra plana
existencia entre la casa y el trabajo, atiborramos el vacío de emociones,
exceso y traición novelesca, pese a correr serio peligro de ser fagocitados por
el monstruo.
Todo es
mejor que mirarnos al espejo, así que encendamos el televisor y devoremos la
quimera de unos seres artificiales y su vida fingida, engullamos hasta la
última gota de su existencia, respiremos en ellos, soñemos por ellos, vivamos de
ellos. Bebamos de su esencia hasta alcanzar a suplantarlos y vuelta a empezar.
The stars are out tonight
Stars are never sleeping
Dead ones and the living
We live closer to the earth
Never to the heavens
The stars are never far away
Stars are out tonight
They watch us from behind their
shades
Birgitte Jack and Kate and Brad
From hehind their tinted window
stretch
Gleaming like blackened sunshine
Stars are never sleeping
Dead ones and the living
Waiting for the first move
Satyrs and their child wives
Waiting for the last move
Soaking up our primitive world
Stars are never sleeping
Dead ones and the living
Their jealousy's spilling down
The stars must stick together
We will never be rid of these stars
But I hope they live forever
And they know just what we do
That we toss and turn at night
They're waiting to make their moves
But the stars are out tongiht
Here they are upon the stairs
Sexless and not aware
They are the stars, they're dying
for you
But I hope they live forever
They burn you with their radiant
smiles
Trap you with their beautiful eyes
They're broke and shamed or drunk or
scared
But I hope they live forever
Their jealousy's spilling down
The stars must stick together
We will never be rid of these stars
But I hope they live forever
And they know just what we do
That we toss and turn at night
They're waiting to make their moves
on us
But the stars are out tonight
The stars are out tonight
The stars are out tonight
