Stars
[Verse 1]
Outside the havoc wreaks
I think we're finally gone
It's time for me to speak
To the man from Babylon

[Chorus]
Well, we almost got to Etham
But it was too far down the line
Now I'm slipping into darkness
On the other side of time

[Verse 2]
I smelled the wild broom
It filled me up with joy
Till I saw my star of doom
Now I got no choice

[Chorus]
Well, we almost got to Rithma
But it was too far down the line
So I'm stepping into darkness
On the other side of time

[Verse 3]
It's no good stuck in the ghetto
Laying around in bed
Lest I forget those twinkles
Twinkling above my head
[Chorus]
Well, we almost got to Nebo
But it was too far down the line
Now I'm slipping into darkness
On the other side of time

Well, we almost got to Nebo
But I seen me a real bad sign
And I can see you in the brightness
On the other side of time

[Outro]
Well, we almost got to Nebo
But it was too far down the line
