paroles de chanson Stars (Live) - Nina Simone

Stars, they come and go
They come fast, they come slow
They go like the last light of the sun, all in a blaze
And all you see is glory
But it gets lonely there when there's no one there to share
You can shake it away, if you'll hear a story

People lust for fame
Like athletes in a game
They break their collar-bones and come up swinging
Some of them are downed
Some of them are crowned
Some are lost and never found
But most have seen it all

They live their lives in sad cafes and music halls
And they always have a story

Some make it when they're young
Before the world has done its dirty job
And later on someone will say
"You've had your day
Now you must make way"

But they'll never know the pain
Of living with a name you've never owned
Or the years forgetting what you know too well
That you gave the crown have been let down
You try to make amends without defending

Perhaps pretending you never saw the eyes
Of young men of twenty-five
Who followed as you walk and ask for autographs
And kissed you on the cheek
And you never really could believe they really loved you

Some make it when they're old
Perhaps they have a soul they're not afraid to bare
Or perhaps there's nothing there

But anyway that's isn't what I meant to say
I meant to tell a story
That I live from day to day

Stars, they come and go
They come fast, they come slow
They go like the last light of the sun, all in a blaze
And you always, all you see is glory
But if you don't mind being patience with my fumbling around
I'll come up singing for you
Even though I'm down
