David Bowie - The stars are out tonight




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
