Let Me Watch the Stars

from Human Music by Bill White

/

about

the album ends with the saddest track, as it addresses the disillusionment with life itself, and concludes with two possible experienes of death..the one surrounded by loved ones and the one experienced alone.

lyrics

from a distance
this looked like the perfect world
so i came down from the stars
and made my home here

from the stars to the sewer
i could not climb the ladder to the street
And what am i doing in this idiotic world?

telling fred flintstone that just because he saw interstellar
doesnt mean he understands quantum physics
what am i doing in this idiotic world
where people lie to escape the blame
and murder is legal
but only on your own property

those who have not known war
find it easy to take a side
some stand with israel
some with palestine
but the enemy is not the arab
the enemy is not the jew
the enemy is war itself
the victims..me and you

the beast stands on four legs
atop the mansion of mankind
the beast with twenty fingers
and two heads
one head will incinerate the world with factory smoke
one head will incinerate the world with the wind
my legs are like crab legs
the beast cracks them open
and sucks out their flesh

take me out of the city
spread me out on the grass
and let me watch the stars
as i lay dying

those who die
surrounded
and held by loving arms
die a death for every kiss
received
while those who die
alone
do not say goodbye
they simply watch
the moon
passing across the sun
