She promised you stars
like you read on her pages 
all of the tinsel and [bad word] of strangers the fear that you came with you 
thought you’d escaped it 
but even while breaking
you could still be persuaded
looking out 
across the lights 
until the morning oh, 

but didn’t they shine
like the night sky and 
didn’t they shine
like the hazy daybreak like champagne and heartbreak

oh, but didn’t they shine oh,
didn’t they shine like the night sky
didn’t they shine 
Oh, didn’t they shine
