perched upon my walkway like a billion bars of gold
we crave the missing air outside the glass-filled wall where a million lights are glowing on
and in the sun-split hairs I make you take a rest for the patients I can't hear you need to see
we make a motley pair, oh you and me since we're trying so hard not to leave
if you need relief I'm just a lonely star away
if you need relief I'm just a lonely star away
will you wake up Mr. Lying-There? Mr. Hard-To-Forget all the places you've been to
and in the needle we kept a replacement there
split a handful of the others 'cross another of your puzzles
and when the hatch swings open wide
all of my fear does then collide
trying so hard not to leave
if you need relief I'm just a lonely star away
if you need relief I'm just a lonely star away
